RE: Any chance of salvaging?
Contact PSE directly about a replacement cable. 150 bucks is way out of line. All you need is a set of cables and the labor to install them. 50 bucks seems more reasonable. I susspect PSE will replace them for a minimal fee, but you won' t know for sure until you contact them. As for the other bow, it' s toast! let me know what PSE tells you.
