Think it is backwards standard 1/4 wire rope breaking strength is 7,000
lbs and 3/16 is 4200 for 7x19 galvanized. You can buy cable at Home
Depot or Lowes and make your own cables. You could try Alps Wire Rope
or Southwest Wire Rope but I'd suspect they are premium priced. You
might check with Bill Cordell to see if he knows anyone

I have an HG70HD tower that has been in service for 15 years. When I
bought it used, it was probably at least that old already if not much
older. I found one of the cables in the tower has frayed, so down it
stays until I can get it recabled.
Has anyone recabled an HG70HD? Can you give me some information and
tips please?
I found the following information in the manual. I am hoping someone
can confirm these dimensions:
Item 4 p/n 690346: CABLE 1/4” x 59-1/2
Item 5 p/n 690198: CABLE 1/4” x 20-1/2
Item 6 p/n 690197: CABLE 3/16 x 20-1/2
I called MFJ. “Tom” told me the cables are: 1/4” 4200 lbs breaking
strength; 3/16” 7000 lbs breaking strength.
Now I need to find a shop that can build the cables or find someone
who may have these parts. Any suggestions or recommendations? I live
SW of Houston, Texas. I am also attaching all the information I have
on hand so far. I am also copying the manual and drawings sent by MFJ
as reference.
