Yes spot on the av mounts never lasted very long especially the mount beside the oil tank

 

I found they older the mounts get the better they last.

 

Brand new ones are too plyable and flex alot causing them to tear. Once they harden abit they last longer. Same with the 6800... (still waiting on that gasket Shavey to give her 1 last try! But theres a lot for sale on Ebay im very tempted in - 4 old Dollys, 2 of which are working)

The DCS 520 is the PS 111, sort of a ("detuned" semi-pro version of the 115/5200. They all are good saws, but lacking in the AV and air filtraton departments by todays standards.

 

You're right there my friend, but none the less i still take my 111 out as a back-up saw,it has never let me down and has taken over when husky or stihl have spluttered to a standstill many times over the years.

They are good saws very popular in its day and the 109 and the 115 still being sold now I would never be without a trusty 115

Just 15 mile from me so all good. He wants £185 for them. The 120 is an easy fix, as is the 118 i hope... the other 2 are 119's.

 

Very tempted... ends tomorrow and no-one has bid
