[TowerTalk] LM-470 question

[Rob Salsgiver]

Greetings all,

I have an LM-470 from an SK estate that I've put back up.  Last night I did the first up/down test after transport and was surprised to see the top section "wiggle" a bit when it got to full extension.  Is this normal?  I expect some amount of play in it, but when you see the top of your tower move a few inches sideways when it's 70' up, it's a little disconcerting when you're planning to put a 40' beam up there... <g>.

Anybody have experience with these beasts that suggests whether this is normal or not?

Cheers,
