Parts source for older Lewmar winches?

I have what I believe to be 1980's-vintage Lewmar 48 3-speed primary winches. I need to service them as the speed selectors on both are stuck, and who knows when the previous owner(s) last took them apart. Before I go opening them up I'd like to get a couple of spare-parts kits, but it seems that these are hard to come by for pre-1982 winches. I've talked to Lewmar, and they could not help me. Does anyone know of a source for these older parts? As much as I'd love to replace the winches with newer self-tailing versions, that's just not in the budget right now...

Thanks,
David
