[TowerTalk] Heighs - Universal tower

[HansLG at aol.com]

That's what I suspected. Is there any way to get these sections from  
Heights or can I use the section I can buy from Universal, or is there someone  
out there that happens to have them "laying around". The dimensions of the  
sections from Universal look pretty much the same.

You have pre-1995 Heights.  The dimensions are somewhat
different  than what is made now.  The 8 foot length and
upside construction pegs  it as Heights, not Universal.
