Default Another chain saw thread

A couple of weeks ago, there was a comment here about Stihl electric
chain saws being very good saws.

Today, I picked up a Stihl type 1204 electric saw for $25. I haven't
used it yet, but it seems to be well made and runs *very* smoothly and
quietly, almost eerily so compared to the old Homelite. Anyone
recognize this model?

Looked into my new book and it wasn't listed - simply not a current model.
Write down the chain numbers before you can't read them - and find a file set for it.
