Hi Neil,
 
I would do some critical visual inspections on the tower, and expect to do  
some painting and or cold galvanizing to clean up any issues with surface rust  
it might have. This sort of sounds cheesy Neil but have the attitude while  
examining this thing that this tower needs to prove to you it can be put back  
up. Also make sure the tower isn't rusting from the inside out. There are 
folks  on here that can help you know what to look for regarding that scenario. 
Its way  easier to do on the ground than after its up. Another bit of advice is 
have  another person come over and look at the tower just to make sure you 
haven't  overlooked something critical. Something like some rust or anything 
that's  broken, bent, or needs welding. Other things to consider are the bolts 
to  
put it all back together again, and the base size and construction. 
 
Others Im sure will have more suggestions for you, goodluck and be safe  
Neil!!
