Finally bit the bullet on a digital tension gauge
It was about $350 and I put it off for years thinking my old spring scale was fine. Used it today on a set of governor ropes that felt a little off, and the numbers showed one was way tighter than the others. Saved me a ton of guesswork and a possible callback. Anyone have a good trick for keeping the sensor from slipping on really worn cables?

You mentioned a possible callback, but is that really a big risk on governor ropes? I've been doing this for twenty years and a slight difference in feel is normal wear. Sometimes I think we overcomplicate simple jobs with expensive tools.
