Jim:

The cable used on crank-up towers is standard stranded galvanized steel
cable of appropriate diameter. Most of the Home Improvement places sell it
and the ferrules and crimping tools and thimbles. McMaster- Carr is a good
source on the Internet. Also any of the off-road truck specialty shops have
cable, but often not that small. Boat shops are another source. And, if
you want to really spend money, go to an aircraft repair shop. Be aware
stainless is not as strong as galvanized steel for the same diameter, and
that there are several stranding schedules, so match the style when buying.

Can anyone advise me as to where I might purchase new cables for a Hy-gain
HG-54HD crank-up tower. I noticed mine are beginning to rust on the top
most portion of the tower. I have attempted to reach hy-gain but they

just
say we don't make them anymore.

Thanks for your help.
