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.
