Never seen a Homelite page so quiet...

Just wanted to know what people on here had in their Homelite
arsenal. I have been collecting for quite some time now and have
found myself with more of these than any other saw. I do not
know if it because there are more of these around or that
because I have been obsessed with them ever since I picked up a
Super EZ for the first time (first saw I ever owned and ran).
What do you all think about the good Homelite's?

I haven't messed with Homelites very much. All of the three I
had went to AS members.
Craftsman 4.5 (Homelite 450). I bought it on ebay thinking that
it was a rebadged Echo. Cleaned it up, tried to get it running,
but the recoil was jerky, tried several times to remove my arm.
I had too many other project saws (I'm a hoarder), ended up
making a trade with a saw builder.
Homelite Super II. Picked it up for $10.00 at a flea market,
never messed with it. Sent it to someone for the cost of
shipping; I kept the b&c to "cover" my $10.00 expenditure ::).
Homelite C-72. Bought it off Craigs List, a C-72 & a Skil 1616
for $20.00 total. Never messed with it other than cleaning it,
sent it to someone for the cost of shipping.

I've got a couple of geardrives ,an itty bitty Xl-2 double
trigger and that monster 2100 in my avatar and that's it .The
geardrives don't run ,the Xl-2 isn't much to brag about and the
2100 is a powerfull old rascal .

It's one of those regional things .Years ago it was just what
was popular back in the day is what you find at auctions flea
markets etc .Around here the most you'll find of old ones are
McCullochs .In years to come that will be Stihl .

I've got 3 360's, a CS 40, a 923, a 550, and a little one that I
can't remember what the numbers are. Waiting on a Flea bay
intake boot and a carb kit for one of the 360"s.
Had a 1050 Automatic long enough to clean the 12 year old gunk
out of the carb and get it running like a top only to find out
that my BIL wanted his deceased dads saw back. :( Don't blame
him a bit though. I've got 3 of the last 4 saws my dad has
owned. All three Mac's. 610, 10-10 Auto, and a mini 35(I think).
Will never sell them. :)

I think Homelite .McCulloch and Harley-Davidson for that matter
suffered from a very bad board of directors during the 80's who
did little for improvements and everything to line their pockets
.For that matter a majorty of other businesses followed suit
.Thus we have what we have today .
While the captains of industry were asleep at the switch
somebody stole the train .Names such as Honda ,Toyota ,Stihl
.Husqvarna and a thousand others would still be small time
players had the powers that were not had their heads squarely
implanted in the cheeks of their buttocks .
