Restring if everything else is in working order, restring kits are cheap.

Yrs ago, I had a general type procedure I went bye. 5KW = Hook strip bolt to van hinge and stretch to 58" length with tape measure ending at start of other end strip bolt. Go to string and maybe have to re stretch just a bit longer. Think 10KW was 61".
