I e-mailed First Call and they quoted a price in excess of $400 for a base, when their website listed it at about $260.  They said it would take a month to manufacture and would NOT be made by them or Tri EX, but someone else.  When TriEx was TriEx and sold direct their rep said they kept bases in stock.  I talked to a U.S. Tower rep at a recent hamfest and they said the old Tri Ex plant in Visalia CA was vacant.

If we move the XYL and I will probably sell the WT51 and get a motorized tower as the arthritis is affecting my shoulder joints.  Can't find out either if an electric winch is made to fit the WT 51.
