My brother is thinking about buying this at an auction. Can anyone tell me how it looks, what shape it's in? He says the folks who had it didn't use it much. How old is this one?

How much would you ask for it if it could be cleaned up and worked ok. Thanks for any input.

I might have to leave it up to the Hegner pro's on here since I don't know a lot about them.. What I do spot is no up front tension release.. This I believe would mean it's a older saw.. I can't tell if it's a 18 or 22 inch saw by just looking at it but I feel kinda like it's the larger one. If more photos was available Hegner puts the year stamped on the I.D. tag.. zooming into the photo I can see the tag still on the saw right in front or to the side of the Bellows area is the tag. My 18 In. saw is from 2002 and has the up front tension so I guess it's probably older than that.

Couple more thoughts..

The saw can be converted to the newer style arms for the up front tension release.. though I think a bit pricey. Might not hurt to look over the parts list on their site so you have an idea of parts prices.. Larry's post made me think about that as I think most everything is available but some parts are not all that cheap for these.

Can't tell much from such a small picture. If it runs it may be worth salvaging.  the up graded upper arm is around $130.  Can't tell what size it is.  Probably a 14" or 18", Can't tell if it is variable speed if not it is not worth a whole lot and if it is and variable speed does not work, that id expensive to replace.  But if he knows electronics maybe it can be fixed pretty cheaply.  I would not pay a lot for it.  Especially if I could not see it run and try it first.

I talked to him again. He got it working and said it ran good.  It is variable speed. He’s not sure but doesn’t think it was used much.  It’s pretty old and is gonna get info from the company. He got it and other tools at an auction out in West Virginia today. I told him about SSV and how helpful everyone is, and how much he can learn here.  Thanks everyone for helping.
