Yah , Saw is NLA so ....Yep. I just bought a NIB Dolmar 5105 ripper from Carl Miller for about $400 less than this foolish price tag.
I got a key question...the OP keeps saying that this saw has paid for itself many times over.
That to me means the saw has been worked hard and may not be what he's cracking it up to be.
I'd sure hate to drop $1000 on a baby saw and have it clap out in a little while.
I'd rather just buy a ported 5105 and a 421 and head along my way.
