Straightedge Rewiring Kit

Easy to install, works fine.

I greatly appreciate the fact that you support repairing things, rather than throwing them away. I'd suggest a sketch for routing the cables, because they are likely to become unstrung if they break. In this particular case I understand the cable scheme, but this is an instrument where the cable routing is invisible, and most people are not familiar with the geometry. Your service is excellent.

Purchased the kit to replace broken cable on parallel straight edge on older drafting table. Works great.

<p>The wiring kit is very good with one exception. I had to attach two very small ferrules that are part of the kit. However, I don't have a small crimper to do the job.</p>

She was really helpful when I called them. My order came quickly, and it is exactly what I needed. I called back in because I had a question about it and he told me exactly what I needed to do. I rewired my board, and it works great.

I installed the wires exactly as the instructions suggested, crossing the two wires inside the parallel bar so they could end at opposite corners. However, the parallel bar is still somewhat sensitive to going out of parallel unless it is carefully pushed at the center of the bar. Could it be that I do not have enough tension on the extension spring at the top of the drawing board? The old, damaged wire that I replaced had vinyl insulation on it; could it be that the vinyl insulation allowed the bar to move up and down more smoothly?

Wire worked very well.

After about 30 years, my Mayline parallel rule wire broke. Very happy to find a new one - glad not everyone has gone digital .

Great product & excellent service

I looked high and low for the right parts to fix my Mayline, and this was the only place I found them. The price was very reasonable too. As well, they offer many hand drafting items that us luddites still like to use, and it's nice to see someone still values the business. The only thing I would have added to the package are the small black knobs needed to loosen the parallel bar. But all in all, a great value.
