Olympic chain saws?

Has anyone had one? Are they reliable saws? I bought two model 240 saws today for $40. both seem to run and cut very good but I have no experience with this brand. My Stihl is heavy and I hope to save my back a little cutting the smaller stuff with these lighter Olympics. So, did I get a decent deal on these?

Never owned one but aside from chains, sprockets and bars I think it may be hard to find parts.

We sold them for years, used to be Oleo-mac. I forget the name they run under now. Good saws, made in Italy. If you go to www.aboristsite.com and look in the chain saws section theres a guy there who is still dealing in them and has parts.
