I'm looking for some unscientific feedback on the RELIABILITY of any/all newer (let's say 2010 and newer) mostly pro series saws.
I actually can't even reply to this topic... o_O

Dolmar PS-7900 / 2003. - issue free - but doesn't qualify
Dolmar PS-6400 / 2001. - carbon scored piston & piston ring which I replaced recently - but doesn't qualify
Sachs-Dolmar 108 / 1986. - blew her muffler gasket which got replaced - but doesn't qualify
Sachs-Dolmar 105 / 1986. - clutch drum worn, clutch weight broke, piston ring worn thin and some carbon scoring on P&C, fixing her up slowly - but doesn't qualify


I don't have any never saws and all things considered I am glad as that means those saws I own are reliable! ;)
 
I have a new one, pm me if you're interested.

Thanks for the offer ... I have a Makita EA4300 on order that I have yet to pay for and am waiting for some resolution on my 562, so it's too early for me to look at another saw right now. I appreciate the heads up!
