there anyone out there that has recabled their TX-472 and might have advice and
or suggestions on this project.? A good cabling diagram would be a help.?
I haven't tried US Tower for advice as of yet.
Okay, I'll bite. Why do you think the cables need replacing? I've worked
on dozens of crank-ups over the years and haven't seen one where the cables
were bad enough to need replacing.
From my UP THE TOWER book (_www.championradio.com_
(http://www.championradio.com) ), the 3 reasons why your would need replacing are 1) fatal
rust (not surface rust), 2) damage (kinked or flattened) or 3) excessive
broken strands (you're allowed six). Which of these conditions do you have?
