This tower with the yagis and rotor is no doubt well over $40K new. We will sell it for far less naturally.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br>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.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Overall, the tower appears to be in excellent condxn, no visible rust and the cables do not appear frayed.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">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.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Thank you</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Ed Berkowitz</div><div dir="ltr">N3US</div><div dir="ltr">Earlysville VA</div><div dir="ltr">tel 434 975 9001<br></div></div><div id="ydp19d10f47yahoo_quoted_1575706161" class="ydp19d10f47yahoo_quoted"><div style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;">
