Beaver, model 140 emblems arrive from Turkey

Cox Models
Discussion about Cox model airplanes, boats, cars, helicopters...chainsaws......
A little modification music please Jacob.
Thank you Levent, you make my life so much easier!
Protective cardboards secured with an engineers preciseness. Those are rubber bands perfectly positioned.
A perfect fit.
I will have to remove the starter mechanism and heat from the inside and peel-off the old emblem and quickly apply the new one.
Thanks again Levent, these will make these old classic Cox chainsaws.
Brought one down to the local chain saw/small engine repair shop and showed it off. (I was looking for points and a condenser) He called to a fellow in the back who is a vintage chainsaw collector but he had never held one. Didn't want to let it go. Was impressed with the build quality for the time and the lightness. Remember no do-dads like a chain brake etc.

Those look great!
No luck finding a usable points and condenser?
I beat you to it:
In the Slot Cars, Trains, and other Cox Products forum
I see there's another Chainsaw listed: https://www.ebay.com/itm/186082517324

Thanks Eric, labor of love.
Missed that Jacob. Probably been there for years and I never noticed it, or noticed it and forgot it probably more likely.
I might bid on it, has the fuel tank on the opposite side otherwise I would not think of it. I don't want to be dragged in to "collecting" chainsaws. For me they are just a tool. (Unless they are 50+ years old:))
Mark keeps me well supplied. He bought these two at a flea market. $5,00 each. You can't turn that down.
The yellow one was advertized as not working. We gassed it up, pulled the starter and cut up a downed tree. The red one is missing points and condenser.
Stopped by the Stihl dealer yesterday and picked up a new 20" to cut up some of the really big trees. My well used 16" struggles with those. It won't look new for long so I took a picture. Dealer gassed and oiled it and we started it in the parking lot.
While at the dealer I bought some yellow/orange? paint, going to tear it down and rebuild it. Vintage but top of the line with options not found on most. No safety features either.

Re: Beaver, model 140 emblems arrive from Turkey
Nice fetches by your son, Bob, good match on paint color, too. Craftsman is a Sears stencil brand, wonder who really made it (Stihl?). Example, my 25-YO Craftsman 3.5 HP w/25 gal. tank air compressor was made by DeVilbiss. (Kenmore, same deal on appliances.)
I thought I missed out when several years later, they advertised same tank air compressor at 6.5 HP, then found some deceptive labeling. It was the same HP electric motor with new cover plastic.
They were listing the compressor HP based on its electric motor stall speed instead of its maximum effective working HP (Same air supply characteristics.)
It's more salesman lies (today called marketing).

It was made by Roper George. Mark did the research.
We owned a Roper riding lawn-mower once. Nothing good to report about it.

Roper, interesting Bob. Never had their power tools, but we had their clothes dryer 30 years ago, was OK for an economy model. Roper, Admiral, once separate companies, now all Whirlpool brands along with Maytag.
(We bought their Neptune 1st model high efficiency washer. It was so problem ridden that it bankrupted Maytag. Dumped the $1,000 bucket of bolts after its 3rd major breakdown in 7 years, bought an Admiral standard washer at Home Depot in 2008 for $275, worked flawlessly for over a decade, now in second life at Salvation Army. Their 20 YO washer that I repaired 6 years ago finally quit.)
Nevertheless, congrats on the collection of now lesser known small historical chainsaws.

The last "good" washing machine that we owned was a center agitiator model. I have forgotten who made it, but it was a named model. (Remembered - Kelvinator) You couldn't kill it and it never failed. Bought the new styled no agitator Whirlpool and if you over-loaded it even by a single tee-shirt it would bump off and quit. Switched to a similar LG model that proved to be worse.
Listed as a "High efficiency" eco model it fails in every regard. Spinning, it will get up to speed then pause, doing it all over again and losing all that gained momentom and wasting energy. Then, if it bumps off it will fill and empty over and over again until the cows come home.
I have to watch over it like a hawk or it could drain my well. When it does, which is often I curse the engineer that designed it hoping that my rage makes it all the way over to Korea or where-ever.

Re: Beaver, model 140 emblems arrive from Turkey
Bob, we went Korean and after donating the Admiral upright nonefficient agitator washer bought a Samsung. Thus far after 4 years, still works fine.
Admiral, well, I did replace the temperature control valve after 8 years, but we have extra hard water (from water company's wells). I replaced it for under $40 on-line parts order. Since, still working well. When I first bought it, did some calculations and found that although it used more water, overall given the cost of water, it was still cheaper in the long run than the investment I'd make in a water saving washer to replace the defunct Maytag.
(In 2008, I took the Magtag Neptune to the city's recycling center and paid the $7 dump fee. No sooner I had pushed it off into drop-off, an owner of a children's home came in his pickup loaded with 4 of the same exact model to drop off. Then I didn't feel so bad.)
Simplicity (no fancy computers, even has gentle cycle) equates to reliability.
