I was also curious why rotator cable needs replacing, perhaps  
wear/damage from the crank-up tower?  FWIW, I have been using THHN  
house wire for my rotators for decades without no issues.

     Probably needs changing? What's the compelling reason for  
spending all the time and money to change it? I can't remember ever  
replacing rotator cable in over 260 ham installations. If it ain't  
broke - don't fix it. Just my opinion.
