to Jerry and anyone else seeking to understand the mystery and wonder that is (are?) SunTour New Winner and Winner freewheels, I put some tech info on my Flickr page:

The New Winner and Winner did sorta have three types of cogs, but the details are critical. It looks like there are actually 11 types of cogs. It looks like there are 7 types of spacers too. The Winner Pro is a different story, with mostly different cogs. The Winner Pro is much easier to deal with, but you don't have option of non-Ultra spacing. Not a big loss for most of us.

Jerry, if you can tell me the letter and tooth designation for the cogs you are seeking, I'll check my stock.
