[TowerTalk] US Tower HDX-689 Sheave replacement

[Rich Hallman - N7TR]

I tried calling US Tower all day...but phone just rang.  Not sure if there is a holiday somewhere that they didn't come to work today.

I found that the bearing inside the sheave is a K10 bearing.  Looks like a KP10 bearing might work but these seem to be REAL hard to locate.  

Thanks for all the ideas from the list.  With the amount of towers out there, I was hoping for a stock replacement solution, but looks like this is a bit more complicated...or expensive.

Im looking for the 5 inch OD Pulley Sheave for the HDX-689. This is for the ¼ in cable.   I need to order a few of these as I'm replacing all the cables on the tower right now.  I know US Towers had them, but wanted to see if anyone else has replaced them from another vendor for a better price.

Thanks...
Rich
