I have just purchased an old Tri-Ex tower and am
interested in info.  
It is a Model 354 and is a crank-up with 3 sections
and a total height 
of about 54 feet.  I would like to know what Tri-Ex
recommended for a 
concrete base and rebar cage.  This tower is designed
for guying but does 
appear to have a tilt-over base.  I am planning on
installing a small 
tribander on the tower.  

Also, the tower has been painted several times and is
chipping paint 
flakes.  Would like to strip and repaint.  What paint
would work best?  
There appears to be galvanizing but there is some
rust, although not 
severe.  It will take time but as it is extended on
the ground, this seems 
like the best opportunity to paint it.

Thanks very much for your assistance.
