A turnbuckle and cable clamps for each end. It's an easy DIY project.

I would say you need a new cable. If you were nearer you could have my spare one! Make sure you order two!

Very generous offer :) yes, I'll order two.


Home depot is slightly far away btw :) but point taken, not sure if I fancy doing a DIY job, I'd probably mess things up & time isn't something I have a lot of at the moment.

Cheers guys

I had one of these cables fail on a CS-79 some years ago. When examined it I found that the pulleys were not revolving freely and the friction has caused the weakening of the cable. It's well worth checking this and if necessary relubricating the sleeve bearings with some Molykote GN paste.

Right, two cables ordered. Thanks for the tip Mark, I'll be sure to check the pulleys when the casing is open :)
