[TowerTalk] Help with fixing a leaning tower (NOT Pisa)

[F.R. Ashley]

I have the same tower and same situation.  I have not determined the exact 
amount of lean, ie dropping a plumb bob from the top, etc.   I also used the 
base dimensions in the instruction manual, and the tower was installled in 
1993.  I do not have any binding, so never bothered to correct the leaning.
