MS-201-C Should I keep it?

[PaladinMan187]

So I got a deal on a MS-201-C last night. Its a running well used saw but not too beat up or hurt. It starts and idles fine, came without a bar or chain and I paid $75. I don't think I can lose on this deal but I'm not sure what to do with it. I really want another Top Handle saw like my MS-200-T but I couldn't pass up this one. Should I keep it or sell it? Pics will be coming tonight. Everyone's input is greatly appreciated.

I can't Tell you what to do but it seems like got a great deal on a lightweight saw.

I just ported a MS201TC. Holy Crap.........that little SOB came ALIVE !!!!!!

I need to call baileys this week and order a couple things. Might as well order a bar and chain for it. After its together and cleaned up I can decide if I'm going to sell it or not. It could use an air filter cover as this one is cracked but serviceable condition.

I'd buy a reduced weight Stihl bar for it.

Didnt know they offered a reduced weight bar for any saws. Hmmm. Ill have to look into this. Ill be posting pics of it later tonight.

How much weight do save on a 14-16" bar???

Kind of a goofy looking saw but I would have paid $75 for it too. It sure looks light.

You can definitely tell a difference

Spiffy looking little bar. Not sure what im going to do with it. After seeing what they go for on ebay i might sell it and a few of the broken saws to upgrade/trade-up some of my running saws. One guy from this forum wants to trade me an 034AV SUPER for it as it sits. Ill have to think about it some more.
