[TowerTalk] Tristao TMS-771 Motorozied Crankup Tower

[steve baughn]

Ray,

This one does not have the remote kit so I am wondering given the age when they were built if they were just raised and lowered without any limit switches? Cabling diagram and whatever else you have would be greatly appreciated!

Steve, 


I have a TWS-771 in the air at my new QTH in AZ. Prior, it was in the air for 25 years in CA.


The info I have on the tower is rather skimpy, but it does show the cabling scheme. 


Do you have the remote control box? I have schematic for the box.


I can scan the info I have, hopefully this evening and send off to you.


I am including a neighbor friend who also has a TWS-771, perhaps he has more info?


This is a very nice, heavy duty tower and have enjoyed having it up.

  I was fortunate enough to just acquire one of these towers. It was taken apart-cabling,nuts,bolts, motor etc. and the previous owner decided to moved rather than put it back together. Is anyone on TT familiar with this tower or perhaps have a manual that I could get a copy of? I want to make sure I get all the cabling and parts back where they belong. I have a call in to U.S. Tower but have not heard back from them. I saw that this tower did not have limit switches with it unless you purchased the remote control. Has anyone fabricated their own remote switch w/limits that they could share the diagram on? I am not familiar with how the limits mount on the tower or where. Many thanks!
