If it is good shape, meets your load requirements and you don't need an
engineering effort to get permission to put it up, go for it!
The top section is the weakest like - don't overload it with antenna or wind
and lower the antenna in a wind storm if you have any doubt. You should
enjoy it for many years.
Have fun!
