Recently picked up a couple of old 028's. One an old metal tank standard AVEQS and the other a SUPER variant with the plastic tank.
Just good old solid smaller mid range semi pro saws that are good old firewood plodders.
Have them to an acceptable stage now, running and a heck of a sight cleaner! Mufflers were soaked in homemade jungle juice style Evaporust and repainted with stove enamel. Had to make new fuel tank breathers for both- the originals were brittle in the tubing.
The standard AV model is still missing all the guts out of the chain brake- yet to be rectified.
Both are pre 1990 made in West Germany saws.
