[TowerTalk] Cabling again

[Michael Ryan]

Steve ( for K7LXC ), As I recall the HG-70D had a 3/16 cable at the top with
1/4 for the other two levels. Does that sound correct?  Is there any reason
not to use the 1/4" cable if a different sheave and pulley is found to fit
in the upper housing?  I don't recall if the upper pulley is physically
smaller or not, but must be narrower to work with the 3/16 cable I would
assume.  - Mike

The only 'weak" link I see is the pulleys,I'm wondering  what effect
the bigger cable might have on the pulleys..
any  comments?
 
    Yeah - bad idea. 
 
    And this substitution is recommended by the  manufacturer?
