I can send you a picture of one! I've got to replace the pull-down cable on
my Tri-Ex LM354HDSP. I bought the tower used; it had been up for around 5
years in South Florida.
Interestingly, the pull-up cables are in far better shape, probably owing to
the fact that the tower had been nested for a couple of years. The pull-down
cable was wound on the winch, where it rusted. The Hoffman box housing the
electronics also rusted out.
