20 years ago my mates dad(american) had a top handle that was about 20 years old. It was tiny and yellow, ran a treat.

Doesn't say how old it is?? I don't think 1712 is the year of manufacture

 

My first top handle was a 1978 020 AV, with hand guard, but no brake.

This is called a quadra and was sold for nearly 20 years in about 15 brands from Poulan, Remington, Homelite and the many USA shed names like Sears, Skilsaw etc they retailed at £59.99 here in the UK and were last sold about 1984.

Stevie could it have been either a powermac 6 known as a PM6 the worlds lightest top handles saw at the time made by McCulloch in the 70's when they were brand leader in pro saws Worldwide ? or perhaps a little Mac120 or 130 which were £79.99 in the UK and i sold thousands of them, if you got a good one they worked well !

 

In those days Stihl only had the 015 which was actually made by Solo [was the 009 export model] and was quite heavy.

 

Come to think of it top handle saws haven't really been developed much in the last 30 years.
