Thanks, the RA was the first chainsaw I got to run when very young and I always wanted a nice one for my collection. Most of them I found were used hard and put away wet,kind of rough and beat up. I knew of the one pictured above, it was a local low hour saw and had been stored indoors all its life ,had no corrosion on it to deal with, finally was able to buy it and did a full up restore on it. It is a shelf queen,as I still have the original RA that I ran back in the 50`s plus 4 more of them just for fun. Pic below is the original RA that I got to run , not bad for a 1955 chainsaw unrestored.
