Picked up a Sidewinder yesterday from craigslist. The guy selling it didn't have any idea what kind of winch it was; his Dad bought it years ago. I knew right away what it was, since I wanted one way back in '77 when I first bought my 40. Popped the worm gear cover and it's in great shape. Now I need to go hook it up to see if it will run. I expect it will.
Edit: Just checked it with a jumper pack and it works like a charm. I didn't get the control handle or solenoid pack with the winch, but any winch control switch will do and an Albright solenoid would be ideal for this.
