Used but not useless Barient 23 self-tailing winches

[Josh Dvorson]

Greetings from San Francisco Bay -- I recently replaced two Barient 23 self-tailing winches. Totally operable, but a little stiff, and when taken apart for lubrication, servicer saw slight wear on a couple teeth and convinced me to replace. Not certain of age, but likely original to 1976 Ericson 27, serviced steadily. Wear on teeth requires extreme zoom in. Willing to consider any offer. Currently disassembled for inspection.

Thank you Josh, can you define/elaborate on "but a little stiff" ? What are you thinking for $$ ?

 

[Josh Dvorson]

When taken off the boat, they were 100 operable, in fact we raced successfully with them right before removal, but extra arm effort to crank one of them and the fact that they were due for lubrication (I do every few years -- last in 2020) prompted removal.

$400.00 (total for both) + shipping seam fair?

I think I would be taking a "leap of faith" as you noted wear on teeth and they are not assembled "complete in bags. Honestly I really only need 1 at this point. Would you take $250 ?

I'm sure we can come together in the spirit of Ericson love and devotion. Hopefully we can ship for a reasonable rate -- all in, it's a pretty heavy box -- Michigan?

 

[Josh Dvorson]

I think you are wise to get two for need of one for full set of parts

Exactly my plan as buying used can be risky. I'll PM you with details and contact/payment info.

Are these sold or are you open to an offer?

 

[Josh Dvorson]

Greetings Tom-- I'm in an exchange with Dave but no sale has been finalized. Just boxing up to determine shipping fee as they are slightly too big to go in largest USPS box.

 

[Josh Dvorson]

ooh ooh! Taller USPS boxes discovered!!!!

 

[Josh Dvorson]

Sold and heading east -- thanks folks.
