Thread: Capstan Winch on an early 80?

Hi Paul,

The 64,000.00 dollar question is - is the perimeter of the casting curved in a continuous shape? or does it have parallel front and rear faces? If it is continuously curved and this is an intermediate (as AEH.P xx ) and a very early number at that too with only two drains like the AEH.V series.

I brought two of the AEH.V ones inside to compare with your photo but am not certain as the roller and grille are obscuring the winch body and I no longer have an AEH.D unit.

Parallel front and rear as there would be no room for full curves.
