PAIR Enkes N0.20 STAINLESS STEEL TWO SPEED WINCHES-12 Photos-GLEAMING GEMS !!

Description

This auction is for a matched PAIR of ENKES STAINLESS STEEL NO. 20 TWO SPEED WINCHES- They are large, very heavy and powerful BIG BOAT GEAR.   There are numerous photos showing their REMARKABLE condition,
inside and out
.
Extremely heavy construction with massive stainless drums and bronze column. They show lightest signs of having once been mounted, still remaining in excellent condition. Have had them professionally cleaned and lubricated-
They are absolute beauties
. . Gears remains sharp and crisp. The textured line gripping surfaces on the drums show virtually no wear, and the stainless drums WILL NEVER get the line rings that alloy or bronze winches do.
Serially numbered.  Measure about 5" tall and about 4 3/4" across the base. Much much more massive and precise than ANY Lewmar, Andersen, Harken or other winch.
Those who know the Enkes winches realize that Enkes winches are among the finest winches made on the planet. Made in the Netherlands- They are absolutely the best thought out winches I've ever encountered, shaming the usual Harken, Lewmar, Barient and others- I am not the only one who has called these the Rolls Royce of sailboat winches, though they are more like a cross between a Mercedes SLK and a Panzer Tank. Everything is machined to the absolute highest Dutch/ Germanic, TEUTONIC standards.
Though these are very weighty, the stated USPS shipping cost is correct anywhere in the U.S.
Gleaming HIGH POLISH GEMS.  These are incredibly POWERFUL AND STOUT winches, which would cost a fortune to replace. Probably among the finest Enkes No. 20s on the planet. MASSIVE AND MAGNIFICENT pieces of precision machining and design. Offered with a very....... Low Starting Bid
