Halyard Winch -- Wire Reel Type

I'm trying to buy an old Barient Reel Wire Halyard Winch -- the kind that used to be used for all-wire halyards. I'm looking for a #3 or #4, but a #2 might do the trick as well. I know all the cautions about how dangerous they can be, but I also grew up on a ketch with 3 of these (all three sails) that we used every day for extended offshore cruising so I know how to work them. They are pretty scarce these days, I'm hoping someone has upgraded to rope halyards and has one left around.

Maryland area, so bonus points if shipping isn't needed.

Note, if it isn't Barlow (or possibly Barient), I'm not interested. The Merriman ones in particular scare me.

Thanks!

Re: Halyard Winch -- Wire Reel Type

Go to ebay and type in "Halyard winch". There are about a half-dozen of them including Barlows and Barients in assorted shapes and sizes.
