[TowerTalk] base hardware for tri-ex lm354, first call or ???

[Jim Spears]

I have a line on a used tri-ex lm-354e tower.  I believe that it will
satisfy my needs so I am now in the detailed planning mode.  permit, xyl
permission, etc, etc.

I will need the mounting hardware for the base, the part that goes in the
concrete.  for some reason, folks are reluctant to break up their concrete
pad to retrieve the mounting hardware for the next fellow.  can't understand
why...

is first call the only possible source for this hardware?  they certainly
list it on their web site at what looks like a fairly reasonable price.  but
their reputation has taken more hits lately than a first class operation
should.

suggestions?  maybe have a local shop fab an equivalent?  if this is a
reasonable approach, what kind of shop do I talk to?
