Subject: Crank up Tower for sale


Bernie,

It has been a long time since we spoke.

I am retired now and living near Charlottesville VA.

Please pass the word around the PVCC and NCDXA crowd about the following 89 foot crank up tower that my club would like to sell.  This tower with the yagis and rotor is no doubt well over $40K new.  We will sell it for far less naturally.

We believe it is a US Tower TX-489, manual crank up without a tilt over base.  At the very top is a two element Force 12 40 meter yagi that appears to be in excellent condxn.  Below it is a Force 12 tri-bander that is dangling from a truss wire and caught in the tower as seen in the attached photo.

Overall, the tower appears to be in excellent condxn, no visible rust and the cables do not appear frayed.

When the wx cools, my club will attempt to pull the tri-bander out of the tower and then crank the tower down.  I know the tower weighs over 1800 pounds so I have not figured out how to lay it over without a crane.

Thank you
