Describe the base. Is it a 1/2" metal plate app 4" X 10 with a row of 
3/4" holes on ea leg? What's the length nested?
The winches may be anything so I'd hesitate to call it cobbled. How 
about a link to a photo.
Once you know what it needs for a base, you "may" be able to order one. 
If not, most welding shops can build one to spec.

It is a 5 section unit, motorized and the bottom section is 30 inches tube center to center, or about 32.x face to face.  This makes it slightly too big for a UST HDX589, and just in between a Tashjian  DX-86 and DX-86HD.  And of course, I need to buy a new base for it so I am struggling and need some help.  The winch is marked Rohn, but I am suspicious it was cobbled together for the application.
