I opened it up to find that it's an "indoor winch", It was still wet and all clogged with rust in the little permanent magnet motor.
I cleaned the rust and gunk off the parts, 2 of the 4 magnets had come loose from the frame.
After blowing it out with compressed air, letting it dry and epoxying back the 2 magnets I re-assembled it and lo and behold it works.
Nice save Steve!
