[TowerTalk] Info to motorize my tower

[d.dimitry]

Dear Potential Customer(s):

Thanks for expressing your concerns about crank-up towers and cables.
I not only sell various sizes and grades of stainless cable, but we also
install them as a standard item on all our crank-up, telescoping towers.  We
also have stainless hardware, such as pulley sheaves, included.  (Isn't
America a great place to live and do business!)
Am I getting to commercial now?
Well, just contact me for further info.  Tnx  : )
