Is Dolmar PS52 an old model

[Fatherwheels]

I’ve seen a Dolmar PS52 advertised new, but when I look on
YouTube the videos are all years old, so am I right in thinking
this is quite an old model.

Thanks

PS52 shares most parts with 111/115. Designed in 1980's, produced up to 2000 (???).

Thanks pavel408.
I think I will give it a miss, found some info saying is the
consumer version, not like the 111/115 with which it shares a few parts.
No point in paying good money for a saw like this when for a little more
a modern saw which will have parts availability for much longer can be got.
Might be a great saw for a collector as it’s new.
