I'm looking for any info on a manual windlass made by Leroy Somer. Extensive searching on line hasn't revealed much other than an identical windlass currently for sale on Ebay. The Leroy Somer website is redirected to Emerson, which apparently bought out Leroy Somer and they no longer are in the windlass business. At first glance this windlass looks the same as a Lofrans Royal (which is what I thought it was when I bought it), but it doesn't come apart the same way, and I want to disassemble it, clean it, and lube it before I install it. Any info would be appreciated.
