the folks who have done this project yet? The short cable for  the upper 
section seems pretty straight forward. It is the routing of the  cable 
through the motor drive that concerns me a little. I do plan on  taking 
lots of pictures before and during the process. I also have access  to 
two other units to check things out but both the closest is 30-40  
minutes away.
 
    What prompted you to want to replace the cables?  Unless there's obvious 
damage or serious rust, I've only seen one ham crank-up  (and it was really 
decrepit) where the cables actually needed replacing. Just  curious. 
 
    Recabling some of the UST products - primarily  the crank-ups with 
positive pull-down - aren't easy.
