Let’s Talk 404

[el33t]

Searching for things I just stumbled across some info that Stihl is still selling 46RCXK chain. A 404 chipper, ripping chain Link here

So the next question is, does anybody live in a country where this is available? Searching around is only finding me results in Africa and Italy.

Perhaps you would prefer a “regular” Rapid Standard (RC)?

I can't believe it's still made. I have tried a few times from outside and within the Stihl network and been told countless times it was discontinued. Searching in english was getting me no where.

At least I learnt something new today

I could scan them for you. I'm not sure if I can make a PDF, I think so, but at least I can make 1200dpi JPEGs (like 50 megapixels)

1200dpi is useless overkill.
Editable OCR PDF is scanned at 600dpi if I am not mistaken.

Most scanning apps support exporting the scanned documents to PDF.
I scan all my annual paperwork into PDF and then dispose of the paper originals.

I have used Foxit a lot, works like a charm - for the most part.
Updates seem to be finicky being followed up by fixes & patches.
But it is a free app.

So You don't need me to pursue the African/Italian Stihl chain?!

Although you are not in Italy or Africa you are closer than the rest of us so I thought you would be a good connection for @Squish9

Honestly, I do not recall having dealings/contact with any active member based in Italy.

I will drop in at my local Stihl dealer this week anyway, I will give them the part number and enjoy their baffled facial expressions.
I always give them the "never heard of" part numbers!

 

[Wilhelm]

Ask @Wilhelm he is not in Italy but he may have friends there. He is just a boat ride across the Adriatic Sea.

Technically I am closer to Italy by land than by sea!

Random thought:
Multifunctional printers that feature a scanner can be had for dirt cheap since the price of OEM ink cartridges exceeds the cost of a brand new multifunctional printer.

I got gifted two so far, they only serve as scanners.

I have dealt with collectors in Italy years ago. The most recent was a guy who sent me a list of around 15 very, very tough to find US saws. Some are not even known to exist. I sent him back prices on a couple I had.

I never heard back

My last contact with anyone in Africa was about 10 days ago. He was a scammer. He wanted me to send him a saw and him pay me later.

I'm going to try the same thing here now that I know it exists and we have part numbers. I'm sure I'll see the same baffled look

Probably and from what I have heard from Aussies a good string a swear words will also be uttered.

How is that ?

For whatever reason, the skip version (RCK/3812) is on Stihl's Serbian website with the price listed.

Well it looks like according to that link a 100ft reel of RCK is $470.88 US which is not bad.
