Official Fundraiser Thread for Lillian (AlfA01)

[AlfA01]

Friends,

I'm fundraising to cover some legal costs associated with my daughter's custody. I've been selling some saws lately, but I'm still falling significantly short of what I need to get proper legal help. The lawyer's retainer fee is $7500. I've raised about half of that selling off my saw hoard. And, basically those guys won't lift a finger without having been paid in full.

It's extremely difficult for me to write this and I'm not keen to ask for money. I won't go deep into details, but I'm trying to get full custody of my youngest daughter, Lillian. It has been discovered she was living in a situation of severe alcoholism, abuse, endangerment and neglect. She was threatened not to tell, but thankfully, intervention gave her the power to tell her story so we could remove her from that situation.

Helena (my wife) and I would like to offer her a chance at a better life, free of that kind of negativity.

Please don't feel obligated to donate. Prayers and positive energy are more valuable than donations....

Connected with this fundraiser is a GIVEAWAY. Several items have been donated by our generous members here on OPE. Please PM for details to get signed up for the giveaway. Giveaway Date: 31 August, 2019

Giveaway Items:
#1. Ported MS500i (Donor pays shipping)
Here is the thread about the saw. MS500i I ported myself and it runs pretty darn strong. It pulls a 36" bar with RS chain buried no problem. I've ran about 20 tanks through it so it's pretty well broken in. It has the R-model or West Coast clutch cover with 1122 series dogs and a roller chain catch. Also comes with a new 25" ES Light bar and 36RS chain--.063 84DL.

I’ll give a bit of info on those two saws.
048, has been updated to modern universal Stihl ignition. Has NOS crank, bearings, seals, impulse, fly wheel, coil, av, oil pump, clutch drum with rim.
Brake is fully operational. Has a used but good shape 048 super piston and cylinder with new caber rings. The difference in regular and super was port timing only no larger displacement.

056 has NOS crank bearings, seals and piston and rings as well as pin bearing. Piston does have a small scuff.
I believe I replaced all of the AV with NOS but some may be farmer TEC.
Both saws have manufacturer carb kits in them. I haven’t hardly used either since rebuilding them.
As you can see they are not beauty queens but they are both sound builds and should make good working saws. The 048 isn’t quite collector quality but it’s not in bad shape at all.
