Then you are extremly lucky Chuck. I've rebuilt a dozen due to the owners not re-setting them. But if you've never reset, then it has already down all the damage it can do, and isn't doing any further tensioning, as it is already at full extension. Enjoy it, and just don't be surprised when it does go pop.
