[TowerTalk] Trying to ID a Tower

Take a photo and post it someplace it's accessible.  If you do, take photos of the base, the winch and one of the lower section with a yardstick laying across it so we can see what the base leg spacing is.

If it's "light" (like 350 lbs) it might be an MW-65 (4 section, 65 feet) but that tower has such a small top section there's no room for a rotator in it: A rotator could clamp "on top" of it, which obviously limits what you can do with it.

The heavier duty towers are *much* heavier (e.g., LM470 is about 1100 lbs).

I think there used to be a model W-67 (four sections, 67'), like a taller version of a W-51, but I haven't seen one of those in many years and it's long out of production.

Most Tri-Ex towers have a name plate with the model number stamped into it mounted on the bracket (base section) where the winch attaches.

I have been given a new tower for my A4S. 

But I can not match it to a model. 

Here is what I know...

1. Appears to be an older Tri-Ex Steel crank up.
2. Made up of 4 sections. Approx 18ft per section

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
