[TowerTalk] TX-472MDP cable replacement instructions

[fritz at k4oaq.com]

I have a US Tower TX-472MDP that needs the cable replaced.

I have the 3 cables. I've search internet but can't find any discussion of
how to proceed. 

I've looked at how one might go about it & concluded I can probably do it.

Here's my stab at it.

1 - Tilt tower over to horizontal

2 - Unscrew big tension screw (make sure there's no tension in cable)

3 - Carefully look at cables & figure out which one to do first.

4 - Take one end loose. Connect rope or new cable to the loose end. (If you
use rope, don't forget to replace it with the new cable.)

5 - Take other end of same cable loose & start pulling. (Solicit XYL to
"help" -  XYL mite need to be replaced - keep options open.)

6 - Loosen pulleys & screws as needed.

7 - Proceed similarly with remaining two cables.

8 - Reconnect the big tension screw.

9 - Move tower up a foot to see if it works.

10 - If not, add addendum for these instructions.
