What compares?

They're still orange Jonsereds  ;D ;D

I've always heard Jonsered had acquired Partner before the buy out.  Jonsered Turbo saws were available here before Husky's Air Injected ones.  When the 2094 Jonsered Turbo came out Husky was still offering the 2101.

Not true, E-lux bought them all, one by one.

By now E-lux is out, and Husky owns the others ++++

It is correct that the 2051 predated the 262xp - but so what???? :

I owned a huge Electrolux computer monitor once in the 80s, I wonder where that fits in  :D

It started with the 670 and 630 in the early 1980s, and was completed just a few years ago - disregarding thye Poulan assambled saws of both brands of course.

I was going to use it with an Alaskan mill, but I haven't bought it yet, so I can wait a bit, I think.

Hey cut4fun, what happened to your posts?
