Check out those prices! They are cheaper now, of course I think those above are built a bit better then the new stuff.

You're absolutely right.  Modern saws (especially the consumer models) are much cheaper to produce than the older saws.  Heck, most older saws intended for the consumer market had design characteristics that we only associate with pro saws today.

The chainsaws of the '40s and '50s were EXTREMELY expensive for the time period.  For example; a 1957 McCulloch 77 (120cc gear drive BIG timber saw) cost something like $499 (powerhead only).  That's over $4000 in today's dollars!  Look at ads for the monster 1940's Mercury and IEL chainsaws.  Some of those were something like $600-$800 back in the late 1940's.  That's around $5600-$7500 today!
