Alright Men -
It's time for me to clear out a few cool saws in my collection - like another of our members, I'm gonna need to buy a new truck soon. My trusty old Toyota has 316,000 miles on the ticker and is getting tired.
This is a new, never-used Solo 680. I think the period of manufacture would have been around 1990-92. Solo designed the 680 to be the common, 81cc, professional model for loggers and arborists. I believe these use the large-mount Husqvarna bars, same as 394/395 and 3120 (A large-mount Husqvarna appears to line up with everything correctly and fits the bar studs and tensioner snugly).
I believe this was started at the factory but never run - the bar oil tank is bone dry and has no residue and the gas tank is clean and dry but does have a light odor of purging fluid (it's typical for OEMs to start a saw on the line and then purge the fuel tank prior to shipping). Unfortunately I don't have the original owner's manual or tool kit, but I do believe I have new old stock dawgs for this saw - I'll have to dig those out.
I was told this came from a hardware store in eastern Canada. There's no corrosion or serious dust but it does have a few small scuff marks and one minor slice in the handle hose, I think from where a technician was opening the box with a box knife. Compression is absolutely excellent as you'd expect with a new saw. I'm asking $1,000.00 even plus shipping but I can trade for Mac 125 or Mac 101 stuff. Thanks!
