While you folks kept the Stihl/dolmar/husky show going, I have been tinkering on a whole bunch of new saws lately.
Talking of a real saw, here's my new baby Dolmar CL two men saw, brand new out of the box made in the sixties. Yes, keep on drooling, yes

hey Oldirty (what's in a man's name, LOL).
I was able to fire her up today, and truth to be told, that 15 cu. inch, 8 hp engine is running quite pruty, not the hack of noise one would expect from it.
It of course is quite heavy and antivibe in those days was probably talk for paper pushers, not loggers.
I also cut a small log with it today, and the saw didn't even change rpm.
this is a keeper for sure.

Awwwwww Mr Lakeside, that's a serious threat you confront me with there.
I debated the issue in length with my new saw baby and she responded that she really doesn't fancy Stihl folks
Can't blame her really :censored: PS. she also told me that all operators that tried to run her one handed in the past, are now either dead or reside in a disability facility:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: .

I think indeed it's the old dolmar logo. I am really proud of this saw, gots to admit. :angel:
I've been looking for a petrol engine two man saw for a long time, and now I found one. I also got a power head of a Stihl KS43 and Stihl BDN (both two men saws) from 1951 with enough parts to build a complete saw. Just need the carbs and a bar which I am sourcing in germany right now.

Here's another picture of the CL along with the Logo.

Nice pic and thanks for the logo, 166.
As you can see, the original color of this saw is indeed grey/blue. Mine is an army version. The saw probably originates from the dutch army, who is known to have operated this type of saw. Funny thing is the year of manufacture is not listed on the plate. I guess mine dates late fifties, early sixties but I am not sure.
You can also identify the logo above on the plate.

Yeah, that's what I understood. After the 694 deal, there was some collaboration on the new generation of saws. The original plan was to build them in both orange and red. (Doesn't someone else do that?:hmm3grin2orange: ). At some point, Dolmar decided that they had something really good. Too good to share with someone else. So, they pretty much just dumped Solo like you would dump a girlfriend or something. Solo stuck with the basic format and designed their own saws.
It's amazing how much alike they look. In a way it's too much, isn't it? It's guaranteed to cause confusion. I'd like to get a closer look on the bench. What inter-changes, what doesn't?
Considering Dolmars' market share, at least here in the US, I don't see how it would have hurt them all that much to continue making the saws for Solo. Especially with Solo coming out with their own saws anyway. Adding to the confusion, both of the former Dolmar distributors here in the northeast are now selling Solo.
Steve, has the guy Solo guy showed up yet? Also, how many years since the 6400-7300-7900 came out and these new Solos?
