[Santana 22] looking for winches or winch parts

Hey Kevin
Barient parts are hard to come by.  Try ebay or Minney's in Newport Beach-they're great for slightly used boat parts.  Huge inventory.

For the frozen winch, the culprit could be old grease in the bearings etc that has turned into glue.  Take everything all apart, clean everything with WD-40 to remove all old grease, then grease it all as you put it back together.  I bought my jib winches (from Minney's) completely frozen, gave them a big WD-40 bath as they got taken all apart, and now they're fine

Hey Bay Tunas,
Two of our winches need attention: 
Barient 10 (vital..jib sheet)..it is sticking like a mofo..took it apart and can't find anything wrong with it..bearings are all there, shaft  clean, a dab of grease..still sticking under 10+ knot loads (works fine under no load)

Barient 8 (not vital..spinny sheets which we don't use)..bearings gone.
Anybody have spare parts for these winches?
Or, spare winches they would want to part with?
Thanks
