Yeah Ron,I think you're right in thinking they're not that common.I think I've only see a couple of 'em on the Bay over the past 6 yrs.I've been wanting one for a while now,but they can get pricey.

It's my understanding that this saw should have had a reed valve muffler originally. It currently has a regular super ez muffler. I suppose finding a reed valve muffler for this is next to impossible??

Ron,I know you'd like it to be original,but don't beat yourself up about it.The reed mufflers are SUPPOSED to be quieter,but in reality they'rer not.Most of the time the reeds break anyway after a fair amount of running.I had a reed muffler apart that came off a Mac saw & there's nothing to 'em,just a plate of steel that runs through the muffler & held in place by a couple of small screws.

Thanks for the input Ed! As of now, the saw isn't a runner. It's just going to be a shelf queen for awhile unless I decide to dig into it. It would be nice to have the original style muffler just for display. It has the self adjusting drive case cover and the tach wire so having the correct muffler would be icing on the cake! No biggie, I'm still very pleased to have this saw. I've never seen another one.

EZ-250

I know I'd seen an EZ-250 in the shop years ago but I don't recall that chain tensioning setup. Maybe it's removable?
