This is sort of a commercial for a nice older gentleman named Phil who stopped in today. Has a very nice low hours 162SE he's looking to sell and he'll be visiting the GTG on Saturday. More saw than he needs anymore. (I already have 2 of them if you're wondering)
Original owner and low hours as in original bar on the saw. "Swed-a-matic" chain brake. According to the serial number which places it around 1976, it is a VERY early 162. (101-8292). I've never seen one prior to 1978 myself. Has the original "reducer" muffler with the screw in/out screen. Instant muffler mod! Hardly any paint scuff at all. Just a little on the bottom of the tank. None on side cover or front cases that I noticed.
Just a heads up in case anybody is looking to fill a hole in their collection.
