I am buying a used MA-40 tower, without the MAB hinged base or 
the MAF raising fixture. Like everyone else, I am having problems 
getting any real help from UST.

I want to locally fabricate something close to the MAB hinged 
base. One suggestion is to build it around a 4"x4" square steel 
tube. This should be cheaper, stronger, and easier to fabricate 
than using the original 4-1/2" OD steel tube.

Any comments, recommendations, suggestions or design info would be 
appreciated.

73,  Joe  K4NYY
