Bottom line is that a new $15 Shimano 6-speed HG freewheel is better in every respect than the Perfect, which includes modern cog profiles for better shifting, a much better extractor, and one more cog - bonus.

Dave, I also have a very large stock of Winner and Winner Pro freewheels, bodies and sprockets but am missing some key sizes. Maybe we can get together and swap to mutual advantage.
