George: I have a TX472 and have replaced the cables on it as described on
our club website www.sdxa.org under Articles. I believe your question can
be answered by a verbal description of the cable lift system.
1. The cable pulleys are mounted on one of two plates.
2. Plate 1 is on the top of the bottom section 1.
3. Plate 2 is mounted at the bottom of section 2 and is actually lower than
plate 1 when the tower sections are nested.
4. The end of the lift cable is connected to a bolt at the left end of
plate 2.
5. I goes vertically to the left side of a pulley on the left end of plate
1.
6. It turns down to the left side of the only pulley on plate 2.
7. It goes vertically to the left side of a second pulley on plate 2 which
is mounted at a bend in the plate.The bend in the plate sends the cable out
away from the tower side and to the ground to a winch.
I realize this may sound a bit complicated but if you are looking at the
tower it should be very clear.
