Has anyone replaced the steel cables on a US Tower motor driven tower (eg. HDX572MDPL)while it was in the vertical nested position (versus laying on the ground)? If so, I would appreciate hearing fro

I'm sure it can be done while standing but it would be much harder and much less safe. I how have replaced the cable on 3 towers and I can't imagine how hard it would be to do it while standing. In s

Oh that's easy: 'cuz UST sez replace 'em every 3 years :-) (even though they supply zero documentation on the cables). I was supposed to replace mine in 1987. I'll get around to it one of these days

In Florida about 5 to 8 years is all I can get out of a set of cables and I'm 35 miles away from the Gulf. Julio, W4HY --Original Message-- From: towertalk-bounces@contesting.com [mailto:towertalk-bo

As an aside to this thread, just a week ago today, my TX-472 MDPL renested itself in about 3 seconds when the cable you're speaking of broke. I saw the whole thing happen. I was raising the tower fro

I can only echo Jim's statements! A couple of weeks ago, my much older HDX-572 re-nested in the same manner, except I was in the house, so don't know exactly why. My 4 element quad survived well (sur

I have the same tower as you and thought the exact same thing. I talk to the man at Dayton this year and his question was "WHY?". I told him that the top section was a little tippy but the overall co

Incidently, I installed my tower in 1999 and recently read that a lubricant on the market was considered very good for these types of cables. It's called "PRELUBE 6" preservative lubricant and is Pol
