Default Options?

Hi,
No options here, at least if you want anything like an optimal rig. The wobble might have been there since the wire was new, the result of poor drawing and layup, in which case it isn't optimal. The wobble might be the result of yarns breaking inside the terminal, as a result of corrosion/fatigue/poor termination/whatever. Also not optimal. It doesn't seem likely that exceeding the elastic limit would produce a wobble, but hey, if there's even a remote chance that this might have happened, I don't think we're talking optimal. In short, I can't think of an explanation that won't lead a rational person to want to get that wire off the rig as fast as possible.
Just curious, though, what other opinions have you suffered on this topic?
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
