Im looking for a wire cable "tension gauge" to use for adjusting

"Loos Gauge" is what is typically sold for sailboat rigging...but Im
sure there are other brands, models, types that will work as well.

Ayup. Got $75 ? I sure don't for a "luxury" item.

I do have lots of stuff to trade though.

The section using a 2 meter rod and calipers should work for any cable

Stretch numbers of 40 yr old 3/16 1/9 stainless? Right

Thanks for the link though. Its one Ive used, but was looking for
something a bit faster and easier.
