[ARC5] Bowden tuning cables problem

[Richard Hankins]

Folks,

I have just obtained some of those hard-to-find Bowden tuning cables 
used on SCR-274, etc.   Having just tried several on a set and control 
unit, I find they are unusable in their current form.

The problem is that the inner is too long relative to the outer. I can 
assemble one end just fine, and it all works as expected. But the other 
end cannot be assembled because the locking ring doesn't get anywhere 
near the collar on the set/control unit.

I presume I have cables intended for some other application, where the 
spline is buried much further into the equipment.

Anyone know if its possible to modify these cables, and if so, how you 
do it?   I hope it can be done, because they are otherwise in good 
condition.

best regards
