Just joined the group and hope to get some advice.
While working for the University of Maine School of Forestry back in 1991 I purchased a Husqvarna 254 XP Professional from the University. The school offered a logging class and each student was issued a new saw which was stored in the lab and they operated and serviced by the future forester after projects throughout the semister. At the end of the semister the school sold off the saws. I asked the instructor for the "pick of the litter" and purchased the saw in the attached photo.
Over the past 35 years I've cleaned up about 4 wind blown trees. Over time I've moved the saw with me from Maine to Georgia to Louisiana and finally to Virginia! My better half thinks its time for me to find a new home and is threatening to give the saw to our grass cutter! She's probably is on the right track since at age 73 with some heart issues I probably don't need to go back into the woods looking for trouble!
Is a saw of this vintage of any value to someone other than our grass cutter? My wife questions my sanity when I tell her it might be of "value" to someone!
The saw does have some paint on the handle (id marker for the student) but otherwise is in very good condition with original decals & owners manual. It's been stored in a Husky plastic carrying case for these years.
Any advise or commente is appreciated!
