Not for an investment, just to get something before they're gone. Parts aren't going to be that important. I've already got some saws like 114/119/116/120 for which parts are long gone. #Post#: 87858-------------------------------------------------- Re: Makita Dolmar gas to end By: Chainsawrepair Date: April 5, 2021, 8:21 am --------------------------------------------------------- Your talking their current line up right? Not the older stuff folks already collect. I would think 7900 6100 5100S = 5105 now days *****************************************************
