I have an HG70HD tower that has been in service for 15 years. When I bought it used, it was probably at least that old already if not much older. I found one of the cables in the tower has frayed, so down it stays until I can get it recabled.
Has anyone recabled an HG70HD? Can you give me some information and tips please? I found the following information in the manual. I am hoping someone can confirm these dimensions: Item 4 p/n 690346: CABLE 1/4" x 59-1/2 Item 5 p/n 690198: CABLE 1/4" x 20-1/2 Item 6 p/n 690197: CABLE 3/16 x 20-1/2 I called MFJ. "Tom" told me the cables are: 1/4" 4200 lbs breaking strength; 3/16" 7000 lbs breaking strength. Now I need to find a shop that can build the cables or find someone who may have these parts. Any suggestions or recommendations? I live SW of Houston, Texas. I am also have the tower manual and some engineering drawings from MFJ. Allen R.
