[Mike]

How did you cure the rubbing problem Dave, I have the same deal here with
the LM-470 on some sections.

Great points Steve,

Too many hams replace cables far too often.  The only other reason is to 
replace a cable is when strands have broken off and can be seen.  I have 
replaced the cables in my 71 foot crank up 2 times in 41 years.  The bottom 
section has been replaced 4 times as the cable actually broke.  Solving a 
rubbing problem with the sections has cured that situation.

My maintenance is to spray the cables every two years with Pre-Lube 6. 
Checking the cables for broken strands at that time completes the 
maintenance.
