Here is a Stihl 193T that I would consider to be in very nice condition, of course as we all know condition is like beauty ....it is "in the eye of the beholder" There is a bit of a backstory that goes along with this saw and a Stihl 250. I know some folks such as @chipper1 and others do not like my Bill G stories. On April 25th a gentleman phoned me that was about 2 hours southeast interested in a new Stihl 400. He came up the next day. He wanted to trade a clean MS250 in on it. He also wanted a new 25 inch light bar for the 400. We gently haggled a bit and made the deal. Hell I forgot the 250 is still here......
Then May 8th he phoned and was interested in some other saws. We talked a bit and he was going to call me in a day or two when he could run up again. I never heard from him until Wednesday June 4th. He came up and we haggled a bit. He left with a new 201T, new 261 Arctic, and new 16 inch bar. I took his 193T in on trade on the deal. All I had for bars for the 201T were 12 inch light bars and he wanted a 14 inch. The 193T that he was trading in had a near new 14 inch 3/8, .043 bar and chain on it so I swapped it to the 201T for him. That left the 193T bare naked. I looked around here today and dug out a used 14 inch, 3/8, .043 that I will include with the 193T. The bar is decent but they chain.......well she is not very long in the tooth.
As for the saw she is a nice clean saw but I know some are not a fan of the 190 series. Yes it is not a 200T but it should make someone a good top-handle saw at a price that is also nice. I figure $250 plus the big brown truck fee.
