Thanks for the great tips, Dan, Mike and Jim. I'm sure I can run one of 
those switches down now with this info. May start with Grainger. Will check 
out Allen-Bradley switches, too. And Dan, if you have a photo in hand of the 
upper limit switch installation on your tower, please email it to me 
off-list.

It could be that only the pivot arm is out of place. The electrician and I 
had trouble seeing how it should be positioned and what it catches on to 
trigger it. A close-up pix could really help.

I had realigned the lower limit switch to get it working after a tilt-over 
of the tower. But I have a bum leg and cannot climb ladders or towers any 
more to inspect that top one, even though it is less than 20-ft off ground 
when the tower is retracted.

OK, thanks guys. This project may wait until Spring when it stops snowing 
and blowing cold at my country shack along the NY-MA border. So no rush. Hi.

73, Ed W1MAG
