Partner Electrolux 401 chainsaw tensioner

Hi Folks.
This old Partner Electrolux 401 chainsaw came in for a service.
I couldn’t get a chain and bar for it, but the one for the Partner 420 fits ok, just a little shorter.
What fascinated me was how the chain is tensioned.
It’s a little fiddly as you have to remove a plate and fit it on the bar when you swap it over (when sharpening or changing the chain), and when holding the tensioned lever back, but it’s a great idea in a way as after it’s set up, only loosening an easily rotated bar clamp, then tightening back up, tensions the chain.
I purchased the bar and 2 chain kit from eBay UK.
It is made by Rocwood product so could be purchased directly from them.
This is the link for eBay, and it's sold by Tree And Grass Spares

Take care and be safe, especially when using chainsaws.
