I was thinking maybe someone had replaced it with to long of a cable, so I thought ok i'll just cut some of it off no biggie. Both ends of the cable has a pressed on cap? My husband says there has to have been another pulley some where because theres about 2-3 inchs of slack. Im thinking I will pick a good spot underneath and add one in. Are there any suggestions or tips anyone has? Im going to fix that cable and begin the machine cleaning in the morning.
