[TowerTalk] Model TM-Series by Tri-Ex

[Patrick Greenlee]

...and the Tri-Ex tower steel models are still being built under the new 
name of the company, Tashjian Towers Corporation.  Still great quality 
and strength in steel.  I had never previously noted their "special 
lightweight alloy" and it isn't mentioned in contemporary 
communications. Their web site includes the same towers with the same 
names as back in the Tri-Ex days. I'm awaiting delivery of a DX70 
crank-up/tilt-over with two each 1 hp motors.  As per my request they 
shipped me the rebar cage in advance.
