Tower/rotor query for a friend

I have worked on both the Tri-Ex LM470 and the US Tower 70 ft 
motorized (not sure of the part number). There is no comparison in 
the two. The US Tower is MUCH heavier duty. Also the motor/crank-up 
is extremely rugged and well-designed. Please take a look at the US 
Tower before you commit.

Nope, I'm going to the full reflector. This sort of exchange of info 
is just what it's for. If we don't "clutter it up" with this, there's 
no point in having it.

Good luck.
