Want To Buy: looking for a Ideal windless

[Badsanta]

I am not changing the gypsy. I have contacted the company. I am trying to avoid new parts to convert mine to a gypsy on one side and rope on the other. My motor has been rebuilt and everything works well. I was hoping to find a similar one to use as parts or put my parts on the other. There has to be some broken ones sitting around. Thanks for your advice.

Ok, I get it now.

I'd continue checking craigslook and eBay and I think you'll come up with something.

My motor has also been cleaned and thoroughly checked out so would not be a good candidate for parts.

If I see something I'll let you know.

This might do ya and maybe they'll come down on the price. It looks exactly like mine only mine has a plastic white cover instead of aluminum.
