WTB: pulleys from the older TCA pulley system

Hey, look around in the old boxes at your club and see if you have those small pulleys from the old TCA bungee systems. I'm looking for those old plastic-wheeled pulleys with metal bracket and swivel. If you have them and want to sell them, let me know!

Why not just go down to one of the "big box" home centers (Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) and buy a couple of new pulleys, with better bearings and swivels. And if the pulleys don't come with a swivel, you can add easily one that is smoother.

That's what I'm doing with pulleys on our systems as they start to squeal and bind. Plus you can select pulleys that don't let the wire or bungee cord jump out & jam.

If you want to spend serious money replacing them, try a boating shop like Boater's World. Stainless Steel, real sealed bearings, guards to keep wires * ropes getting down beside the wheel... But spendy....

John,
Thanks for the suggestions. I've already tried Home Depot, so before you head out there, scan over this other thread: Anybody know where to find the older style pulleys from TCA pulley systems?
