[TowerTalk] Triex Control Box Wiring & (Now) Restringing/Reassembling LM-470 tower

[Joe Giacobello]

Bob, you may be able to do me a favor now.  My 470 was brought down 
during a windstorm several weeks ago.  Although, my insurance company 
has approved a full replacement, only the next to top section was 
damaged, and I may want to replace it and restring the cable so I wind 
up with two towers.  I would appreciate some kind of detailed summary of 
your experiences and other relevant info related to any restringing 
issues.  I also wonder if you have any opinion regarding the difficulty 
and advisability of removing the damaged section and inserting the new 
one.  It looks like some welds will have to be broken to remove the old 
section and insert the new one and then the welds will have to be 
remade.  Do you see it that way, and do you see this process as 
unusually difficult for an experienced welder and/or mechanically 
proficient person (not me)?  I'd appreciate your opinion.

I've also copied the reflector with this request in case there are 
others out there who might be able to provide some guidance.

73, Joe
