Thanks for the great feedback. My Barlow 2 speed winches are 1984 vintage and are not self-tailing. Still work great, but want to upgrade. See my earlier post of a couple of weeks ago "Help me spend my money". PS: I took everyone's advise and I do mean everyone's advise and bought a new set of sails.
I still have a small amount of "leftover budget money" (hope my wife doesn't come to this form). I know, in previous years, West Marine has a BOGO sale on winches in March. If I buy new I go a little+ over budget. If I buy used I can stay within the budget. . I've also been seeing some Barlow "self tailing" winches on the web, fairly inexpensive compared to current manufacturers. Buying used winches, from an out-of-business brand is a gamble. I did not want to consider buying them if service parts, if needed, were not available. Again, my experience with my current Barlow is great, so I know the product itself is good
