I got tired of cranking the handle on my homemade vise winch so went looking through my too good to through out piles and came up with this. All the parts were left over from previous projects or past lives.
30 years back I installed satellite dishes among other things and have several dish positioners and power supplies stored away.
I modified a power supply so I could just use a paddle switch for forward and reverse to the motor.
I made a new shaft for the winch to match the drive head.
I installed the paddle switch in the gear head and using a muffler clamp and a piece of angle iron I mounted the head to the winch pole.
Here it is all painted up and done.
Thanks for looking
