The vinyl on one of the cables on my 20 year old Parabody lat attachment finally gave out. I'm having trouble finding a replacement. It's 114" long, "type b" from what I can tell with a ball on one end. I can find custom length $20 Chinese ones that reviewers seem to indicate may not last more than a workout or two, and a nearly $300 domestic one.
Does anybody know of any other options? I'd like something decent quality at a reasonable price. I'd be willing to make my own but not sure if special tools would be involved.

The cheap way is to go to the hardware store and make your own. The coatings on those will wear down fairly quickly though. The right way is to go to Full Circle, Sportsmith, Nat'l Gym Supply, etc. and have one made to whatever length you need.

Already received it and it was a perfect fit. 1.5 weeks is a good turnaround for something made to order. It's still a pretty cheap cable whose price doubled because of the custom size, so hopefully it holds up.

Repped everyone ITT. One more option, probably very expensive:

I'm trying to use this site to find something I need for a small project, would anybody know what one of these things is commonly called?Originally Posted by EricAtl
Damn, error won't let me post a picture, but it's the cylindrical leg foam things that commonly go under/over your knees and angles. Site is glitchy for me too, which is making it hard to browse for stuff. It keeps resetting me back to the basic drop down menus ( Select your Brand/ Series/ Model )

I've been using vinyl jacketed 3/16 steel cable from home depot for a long, long time, along with some wire clamp components from McMaster-Carr. Though after all this time I do think about ordering a new custom cable with a good rubber stop ball at the end.
Glad to have found this discussion thread.I'm only ecto on the outside
