The bar may have all the chain info on it. If not I'd take it to a shop buy one and a file/ sharpening kit. Only few bucks but well worth it. Don't use electric chain sharpener!
I'm surprised to hear you say that. I use a Dremel Moto Tool with a chain sharpening guide and stone. It takes some getting used to but once you learn the light touch that you need to use, it goes fast and does an excellent job. The only drawback is that you can damage the chain if you bear down hard and take off too much. Keep in mind that the cutting edge on each link is tiny so very little pressure is needed and the angle must be correct (I find the Dremel guide very good at helping to maintain the correct angle.)
Getting back to the original post... I like that old Mac. They haven't made good saws for a long time but those really old ones are great.
