Help with Walthers Crane

[Green_Elite_Cab]

You guys must be psychic. I just pulled this crane apart again for the first time Yesterday. Still can't get the rigging to work right. I tried using some old sprues to keep the threads from touching each other so that they would work right, but it was of no use. I might just need to cut the string or something, and just re-arrange it.

I wish I knew why the spool broke on one side in the first place. I'm not sure I like the design of this crane.
