Oh ya, he has them all. Great guy, very knollageble. He and I have been friend for years, even though we've never meet face to face. What's funny, the very first saw I sold him was a 797.
I found a 797 with a 36" bar in McCloud. Guy said it ran when he put it away years ago. I think I'll investigate. Never know might be a diamond, might be a pile of crap.
Not too many "crap" 797's out there as they can be rebored and other parts replaced. I like me any regular, not super, 797's.
The internet has ruined saw hunting. It's great for us to communicate, buy, sell and trade ect. But people misinterpret what they have compared to what they see on their computers as far as prices, thinking they have a gold mine. Here's a great example. Your 2101 compared to my 2101. Guy who know saws can see yours is worth more. Some individuals just see 2101 and think theirs has the same value when it may not even run.
I think most of us are 10 - 20 years late to the scene. And that includes us in the PNW.
Good to you got the old dog fixed and up and running again Pete. I'm bound to get my mits on another one. Wether from Lee across hell and all of Georgia or from around these neck of the woods. Looks like me last night...cuttin a load in the dark with my damn head lamp...scouted out another snag to finish the load and luckily there was snow on the ground so I could track my way back to the damn truck.
