[TowerTalk] Tower restring

[WA3GIN in Alex. City, VA]

DITTO...if one can't figure it out one ought not to purchase the device.
The manufactures are not going to hold the bag for folks that screw-up, get
a finger smashed or cut-off, or worse because they are messing around with
dangerous gear. Probably the reason there are no instructions available. 

Having said that...I replaced the cables on a 100ft Tri-EX crank-up.  Not a
big deal just time consuming.  The vendor sold me a couple of short cables
which we didn't find out about till crank-up time - that was fun, haha. He
replaced them free of charge so we have some "new" extra cables for other
uses ;-)

Good Luck

I am not sure why everyone needs these so call diagrams to replace cable,  
take off the old ones..measure replace. Not too hard of a job, esp if the
tower  
is on the ground !!!!! Doing it while the tower is standing is a little  
trickier. If you do not have the mechanical skill to do it, better call in a
pro  
and spend the 2 bucks. I often wonder how many people get seriously hurt and

killed everyday from being CHEAP on any project not just towers. Yeah I know

all  about it, spend a few grand on towers and antennas now you have no
money 
to pay  a pro for some help you can't really handle..oh well, so life goes.
