Now that's an interesting concept.  I don't know that the engineering 
calculations for a new tower would be appropriate for a "used" 
tower.  Other jurisdictions and engineers may differ, but I know that 
I wouldn't seal it.  The wet stamp means the sealer has personally 
(or under their direct "span of control") done the analysis and 
calculations for the thing being sealed.  For a new tower, where 
you're using new materials and supervising the construction, it's one 
thing.  Unless I knew an awful lot about the history, I'd want to see tests.

OTOH, maybe the local jurisdiction just wants calculations for the base?
