If it's too broken to sit on an axle and rotate then I can see why they wouldn't want to play with it. I'm feeling salty today, but for thousands of dollars worth of cable they should suck it up and do it anyway.
My only question would be whether to figure-8 the whole thing onto the ground or to take a side off the spool and try to slide the whole coil onto a pipe. Either way, proceed to wind it up onto another spool. Fancy machines are all well and good, but they ought to be able to put some gloves on and spin the new spool by hand. Or bolt a pipe flange to the wood if they need a handle. -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Mark - Myakka Technologies via AF Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2024 11:15 AM To: AFMUG <af@af.afmug.com> Cc: Mark - Myakka Technologies <m...@mailmt.com> Subject: [AFMUG] Fiber on bad spool I have some 144 fiber that is sitting on a wooden spool that is rotting away. Apparently this spool is in real bad shape. I'm waiting on some pictures to see how bad. Guys are telling me we are going to have to abandon all the fiber. I hoping to try to re-spool it to another spool. Any tips or tricks? -- Thanks, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Communications www.Myakka.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
