Thank you jkh, Boa.
I was only considering evaluating testing the governor myself, simply to ascertain readiness for inspection, since I think my company is wrong about it. I will get a look at the unit again soon but the 'wheel' just seems to be a fixed in place pulley to me? In the new near $2000 proposal, it is said "the overspeed governor rope has stretched and requires shortening" I'm pretty sure this has been kind of trumped up. If I was totally sure, I would switch companies without thinking about it. The lingering doubt is what puts me in a conundrum. I need a governor fixed to pass my inspection, the inspection itself costing a minimum of $400 and my company wants to fix something different. So with or without spending $2k with them, I expect to fail again and either have an elevator put our of service, fines for a second fail, or at least the cost of another resinspection. Thank you again for the advice.
