Good Morning Gentleman,
I am brand new to tower talk and to my TX-455, so please excuse me if this is a duplicate question from a past entry.
In the process of my TX-455 installation I found it necessary to raise and lower it a couple of times, not being Arnold Swartzenager I also leaned very quickly its not something I want to do too often. 
So, My question is, has anyone found success with a generic 110v winch that would replace the hand crank unit and be far less costly than the US Tower $1500+ power unit? 
I also have the razing fixture but I am not concerned about it as I do not believe it will be necessary to tilt over the tower as often as I may want to raise and lower the unit.
Thank You in advance for any help you may be able to provide,
Wayne, W7WAC
