Now this is a odd serial number for a EZ automatic

[Deleted]

s/n 1950642, by Joyce's records this would be a 1965-1966 saw, but I'm fairly sure the red and white EZ Automatic was not made until after 1970, the early 1968-1971 (approx) EZ's were blue, so this serial number has me confused.

Pretty strange alright. If there is an unreadable digit on the end, as in 1905642X, it could be a 71 or 72... I don't see any EZ auto's in 65 or 66 or until 1970 for that matter. When was it actually introduced?

Never saw a digit over on the type section before, but that would explain it. The Blue EZ and EZ Automatic supposedly ran from 1969-1971, I'm thinking they were the little brothers to the XL-101 and XL-102 Automatic. The red and white EZ Automatic came in after 1971 (I'm not sure if there was a red and white EZ manual oiler), The red and white Super EZ Automatic may have been introduced around 1972-1973

Red and white  E-Z Automatic introduced in 1969..discontinued in 1971.
