So I got this is old Barient 24 Self Tailer on eBay for $99. I love bronze, like so many of us do, and the rich patina it forms through the years. As I suspected when buying a really old winch on eBay, especially on the cheap, that there was probably some work that needed to be done. When I received it I couldn't get it to turn by hand. So I opened her up and sure enough found old grease caked on everything so thick that it was more like clay. A service wasn't enough, this needed a full over-haul. (Like a dummy, I forgot to take any 'before' pictures of the insides or the process... sorry!)
