Alpina and Castor saws

I found another Alpina saw yesterday. I’m not sure what model it is so any help would be appreciated. I’m guessing it’s a 540/600?
I cleaned it up and it started on a squirt of mix.

Amazing how that 30+ year old saw from an effectively defunct maker looks like a current model.

I found these for 10.00 each the top one
Didn't have an hour the owner told me
The coil died in the first hour
When he bought it in the early 90s
The bottom one lasted until recently when it's coil died.
My mom bought me the same saw from the same shop
Shinn electric in ripley wv
when they carried Alpina for a few year's
I need to find replacement coils for 3 of these saws plus
A 540i and 600i

You may have to do a little fitting and trim the plug wire.
