Any experience with Shindaiwa 500?

The Homelite's I had asked about fell through. Anyone have experience with Shindaiwa's, particularly the 500?

A nice solid old saw. The only problem I had with the was the filters on some of the
older models were not that hot, so after several years, the bearings would show a
lot of slop and the seals would leak. You should have been watching e-bay, I just
sold a 500 and two 350s to one guy cheap.
