 |  New (to me) RBI Hawk I won an eBay auction, clickity clickity, for a RBI Hawk 216 VS. It's about 10 years old but it only suppose to have a couple hours of saw time and it looks like it. This will go into my shop in ND, so I won't get to play with it until May.

| I also won an RBI Hawk on ebay. Mine is a 220 VS and the manufacture date is June 1991. It was brand new still in the original box and has never been used. I don't know where it has been for the last 15 years. I got it last Wednesday and it works great. I can't wait to make more projects with it. It's too bad you have to wait until may to use yours. I'm sure you will be very pleased on how well it works.

| Bob, I think you will be thrilled with the Hawk, I wish I'd bought my G4 at such a price. None the less, welcome to the club and congrats.

| Thanks for the reply to my question. I just talked to the factory, and they can only pin it down to 1985 to 1988 . Maybe I won the oldie but goodie award ! I was glad to hear that parts are still available, so I ordered new upper and lower blade holders and a pair of new drive belts. The saw is working fine, but it had the old style blade holders that needed tools for the blade chage , (tools missing), only one of the drive belts (takes two to change speeds) and no owners manual. I downloaded the PDF manual last nite and now I'm ready for a tune up once the parts arrive. I'm really looking forward to scrolling, it's gonna be great to pass the time being creative. |
