[TowerTalk] separating older tubular tower sections ?

[Warren W Munro]

For greater ease in moving an older tubular 2 section tower (probably
TriEx, but similar or identical to current US Tower MA-series), I
would like to separate the inner tube from the outer tube. However I
have been warned that there may well be a welded stop to prevent folks
from raising the upper section completely out of the inner with
unexpected consequences hi...

Has anyone tried completely separating tubular tower sections ?

Are any stops accessible ?

Any hints on re-cabling ?

Thanks & 73
