       I have this old saw...

       I've had this Sachs Dolmar KMS-4 for about 25+ years.  It did
       not have a bar/chain when I got it, so the first bar was a 24"
       Windsor sprocket tip.  Recently I downsized it to a 20" Oregon
       PowerMatch Bar with 73LGX chain.  With both of those combos, it
       has plenty of power even when the whole bar is deep in the cut.
       I've always used Amsoil Synthetic 2-stroke oil and premium fuel
       in it.  It doesn't get used much in Florida now, but Irma
       clean-up pressed it back into service.  Ran great still and got
       the job done!  Time to clean it up and put it back on the bench
       until the next storm!

       Wow, that's in mint condition! Looks like it just came out of
       the box!
       I know they are rare and quite collectible but it seems a waste
       to just have them on the shelf.  There's nothing like the sound
       of this saw under load working it's way through a big cut.  It's
       so smooth and an almost melodic exhaust note.
       I got this when we were cleaning out the shop where I worked in
       the 80's.  Saved it from the dumpster.   :D
