I received this tower and don't have the model number for the tower. The model and serial number on the label are blank. It is 37 ft high extended and is a 2 section tower. There are guy wire mounts on the top of the stationary part of the tower. the Tower has a hinge plate on the bottom and and the base is about 8" on each side. The tower is constructed with 1 inch OD tubing. 

Any inforamtion on how to build a base or attach guy wires to the earth. Also what type of guy wire that will last. I also understand that egg insulators are needed on the guys. What is the typical spacing for the egg insulators or maximum length of guy wire between insulators?

I also need information on the strength of the crankup cable because the one on the tower is in need of replacement.
