Forgot the pictures

So, Mark, it just so happens that I have a 52e saw that was a good runner but developed a hole in the gas tank. I've robbed the ignition, but everything else is there. It appears to be a low use saw and has a bunch of pretty parts on it. I could send any or all of it, if it'll get your 521...
