[TowerTalk] antenna

[john at kk9a.com]

You description is too vague for anyone to give you pricing advice.  Telrex 
was a high end antenna company, however the designs are old and the antenna 
probably has little value.  I have never heard of the "Super Mini Beam".   I 
am not sure if Telrex ever produced a crank-up tower, perhaps it's a Triex? 
The tower may have some value, but you would have to post a picture of it 
for further evaluation.  If you had a Telrex Big Bertha, you would have some 
serious interest, but that does not match your description.  Be careful if 
you are attempting to remove this antenna system!

GL,
John

hello:

please pardon the intrusion, but we are selling a 60 ft telrex antenna that 
was
installed about 40 years ago.   it belonged to my father-in-law who was ''on
the band'' for over 50 years.

from his son who helped install it:

Thank you for the email. The Antenna on the tower is a Tel-rex 20 meter 
"Super
Mini Beam.  The tower is a Tel-rex crank up / crank down / Tilt over.  I 
know
it is at least 50 feet of tower and 60 feet to the tip of the mast. Dad 
wanted
to get a full wave length above the ground. The tower base in "packed sand" 
(I
know because I helped put it in)I think it goes down four to six feet. 
Don't
forget that it also has a "house brace".

can you possibly give us an idea as to its worth?  we would greatly 
appreciate
it!

regards, dan

not a ham operator.  it has has a new motor, still in box.
