I have purchased a T-BD-50HD made by Aluma Tower Company, Inc.
The cabling is not complete to raise the tower.
I am looking for examples of other 3 sections crank-up towers, showing detailed pictures of top and bottoms section. (this does not need to be aluma tower; just a 3 section crank-up tower.
-- let me know if you are willing to help me.

Replacing tower damaged by hurricane IKE;  26" diameter pine tree  fell on tower before hitting house.

This tower was made in the mid to late seventies. 
A lot of our old drawings and records were destroyed when we had the hurricanes here in 2004.


Unfortunately with the changes that have been made to the tower over the years structurally. 
The way we rig towers now would not work. 

If I come up with a plan for you I will.
