Score!
Today at the field I was offered, and snapped up, a new in box OS .61 Special Edition Gold Head! Tools, bolts and carburetor are still stapled in the original plastic bags.
This engine has never seen a mount, a bolt or a glow plug.
To top it off, when I got home from the field I had an e-mail waiting for me with an offer for a beautifully built, glassed and primed Midwest Mach 1.
What a day!!!

RE: Score!
Nice Score 
Last lime I saw one for sale was in my local model shop in the 1980's ......I was a apprentice my budget would not strech that far back then [
]
It is amazing what shows up for sale at a Club Field or a Swap meet My $50. Blue Angel came from one of these.
Good to see that every bargin is not on a Auction site.

That's a nice engine!! I've always liked that engine. I had one NIB that I got a few years ago but wound up having to sell it [&o] ...I hope I can get another one sometime..
The fellow I sold it too said he had a Mach 1 in mind for his too...Kewl!! That seems like it would be a really nice set-up... [8D]
Good Score...

I really wanted one of those guys when they made them, around 1987 or so?, but had just made a purchase of a Hanson Tipo. Cost me 129.00, shipping included. Tough choices we face in life.

So what was different about the gold head version of the OS .61F SR, other than the gold anodized head? I had the plain head version and it was a very good engine.
Boy would I love to stumble across a Hanson Tiporare in good condition! I'd pay twice that much for it, gladly.

RE: Score!
Nothing. The gold edition was just a commemorative happy trails end to the FSR era. The FSR's, you remember were so popular and I think the 61 gold edition went for around 160 or 165 bucks or so. I can't get over how many spin off brands were inspired by the bore/stroke/porting of the OS MAX FSR series.
