Thanks Bryan
Wires are old and will need to be replaced. I heard some friction noise this
days when rising it
Per US Tower instructions, also is needed to wax outside sections with bees
wax!
This oils will be good for maintenance on the new cables.

Also, according to their MSDS and datasheets, "Mac's Chain & Cable Lube"
contains the same ingredients.
NAPA Auto Parts carries it as pn "MAC 1370". Link to NAPA website:

> I got a used MA-550 tower, first owner bought it in 2007.
the cables to rise up and down and to lay it are very dry and a bit
oxidize in some places, also the pulleys.

No - do not use either of
those. What you want is a thin kind of lubricant so that it wicks into the
strands. If you use anything else, either the coating attracts
contaminants or traps water inside the strands - both of which are bad
for the cables.
Champion Radio Products
carries the PreLube which is recommended by wire rope manufacturers.

I saw the Prelube 6 Cable Lubricant spray. Can you ship it outside USA?.
Some of this are prohibited by air companies.
