RE: [ercoupe-tech] trim cable wire

[Jerry Ward]

Linda - just thought I would throw this out there - no one has even mentioned 
the fact that your cable may not have been the problem in the first place.  If 
the painters did not take off the elevator trim hinge and keep it clean during 
the paint process, then they may have let paint soak into the elevator hinge 
and make it too hard for the cable to move it.  I hope that before you finish 
the process of getting this fixed, that someone checks the freeness of the 
Elevator Trim hinge.  That too may need cleaning and lubricating.  Sounds like 
you have had lots of good info on the cable, but be sure and look at the hinge 
too.  Good luck - Jerry
