Chain Saw Age 1980s Archive Copies
Now Available From Former Editor (updated 14-FEB-2024)

Over 200 exclusive technical/service articles, a hot-saw project series, shop tips, a regular Q/A column, breaking industry news, logging sports results, new product releases, personnel moves, and much more, formed the meaty content of Chain Saw Age magazine throughout the 1980s.

Ken Morrison, CSA’s editor & production manager from 1979-1990, still recalls the incredible effort and care that went into producing each of these editions. And, it explains why he kept and preserved all the printing overages from that era. Now, after 30-plus years in storage, he is making them available to industry personnel, equipment collectors, and others interested in their unique content.

The issues have been arranged in annual sets. Many are complete, 12-issue sets, while others are partial sets. Because 99% of these copies were never imprinted or mailed, nearly all of them are in mint condition. Print quality and paper are high-end. And, there is plenty of content. During this era, CSA averaged about 60 pages per issue.

Pricing is set at $4.50 per issue. Thus, a complete, 12-issue annual set costs just $54, plus economical, at-cost shipping via U.S. Postal Service priority flat-rate boxes. Those wishing to reduce the total cost can purchase partial sets, which offer an abbreviated look at a year’s content.

Sales are on a first-come, first-served basis and, of course, supplies are limited.

Those interested in purchasing these rare sets should contact Ken at morrisonmill@gmail.com or call/leave voicemail message at 360-293-6593.





THERE IS ONLY ONE FUEL TO USE IN A CHAIN SAW
ASPEN ALKYLATE PROFESSIONAL FUEL HAS BEEN ON THE MARKET
SINCE 1988. It came about as a result of a study that was done in
Sweden about chain saw and clearing saw operators being afflicted
with various cancers after years of running regular automotive fuel
in their equipment and breathing the exhaust. Mr. Roland Elmang a
fuel engineer at VOLVO founded the ASPEN company to market his
answer to the problem. ALKYLATE fuel does not contain dangerous
amounts of benzene, aromatic hydrocarbons and other terrible cancer
causing agents found in the fuel sold at the gas pump. ASPEN
fuel does not contain olefins which contribute to gound level ozone
formation, harming the environment. ASPEN 2 and ASPEN 4 fuel is
92 octane as measured in Canada. ASPEN 2 fuel contains a 50:1
ratio of extremely high quality biodegradeable synthetic oil based on
renewable content. ASPEN fuel burns cleanly, not forming any carbon
deposit in the engine. ASPEN fuels contain no ethanol. The spark plug
and combustion chamber remain clean and another major benefit
of ASPEN is that it stores without deteriorating for 5 or more years.
DO NOT add fuel stabilizer to ASPEN fuels. ASPEN will not cause carburetor
gum up, fuel line deterioration or damage to components of the fuel system.
Fire departments depend on it to keep their small engine powered
equipment ready to start and operate atall times. ASPEN 4 fuel does
not contain any oil and is for use in 4-cycle engines.
ASPEN SPORT FUEL is a high octane alkylate racing fuel developed
for use in Go-Karts, Moto-Cross bikes, competition cars and when mixed
with a high quality mix oil racing chain saws. At the 50:1 ratio ASPEN 2 is
completely safe to run in any chain saw made since the introduction of
chrome plated cylinders, with the carburetor set correctly. Saws with cast
iron cylinders could benefit from a 40:1 mix ratio.
