But since you don't read posts, let me redo a version especially for you:
I bought a cheap used Alpha freewheel (12-30) this past summer for ~$45 that is of far better quality than any current Shimano production. You'd be really pleased with it.
A couple of comments:
First, I did read the OP's initial and subsequent posts. My reply about the importance of appearance was directed at both you and him. I think it's a pretty trivial consideration.
Second, I've owned and used many Sun Tour freewheels including New Winner, Winner Pro and Perfect models. They were well made and worked but were nothing that special and the Shimano freewheels I later used were just as durable and shifted a lot better.
