I have a US Tower TX-472MDP that needs the cable replaced.
I have the 3 cables. I've search internet but can't find any discussion of
how to proceed.
I've looked at how one might go about it & concluded I can probably do it.
Here's my stab at it.
1 - Tilt tower over to horizontal
2 - Unscrew big tension screw (make sure there's no tension in cable)
3 - Carefully look at cables & figure out which one to do first.
4 - Take one end loose. Connect rope or new cable to the loose end. (If you
use rope, don't forget to replace it with the new cable.)
5 - Take other end of same cable loose & start pulling. (Solicit XYL to
"help" - XYL mite need to be replaced - keep options open.)
6 - Loosen pulleys & screws as needed.
7 - Proceed similarly with remaining two cables.
8 - Reconnect the big tension screw.
9 - Move tower up a foot to see if it works.
10 - If not, add addendum for these instructions.
Disclaimer: These instructions might fall under the category of "Fake News"!
Advice welcome!
