[TowerTalk] Tri-Ex catalogs

[K0DAN]

No, Tri-Ex was first, around since the 60's, maybe before. There were 
several intermediate owners/operators before Tashjian, who pretty much 
bought all the mfg, designs, etc.

The towers and models are "almost" identical, which is to say Tash has made 
modifications & improvements over the years, so there are subtle 
differences, the designs have evolved, but you need to look closely to find 
the changes.

I have a circa-1970 LM-470D which is definitely a Tri-Ex. I obtained it from 
a SK estate and refurbished & installed it in the late 1990's. I have some 
Tri-Ex catalog and data sheets from the period, as well as a hard-copy 
Tri-Ex manual plus a thick notebook of installation data, etc. Regret that 
it is not in digital format, and scanning it all is beyond my available time 
& motivation.

A friend of mine installed a new Tash LM470 a few years ago, and it is 
surprisingly similar to mine.

I can't address your BAMA questions.

That is interesting, and indeed it appears several towers had common
nomenclature and design under both the Tri-Ex and the Tashjian corporate
names. It appears that the Tri-Ex Tower Corporation name in Visalia CA was
established after the Tashjian Tower Corporation was moved from Frontier
CA???? Maybe someone can elaborate on the history.

I have a couple of Tri-Ex manuals (not Tashjian) not on 'bama', already
scanned into .pdf documents for what I have. I'd try again to download them
to 'bama' but wonder if 'bama' would load them as Tashjian or Tri-Ex (two
legally different companies even if the owner(s) were common). Both towers
have Tri-Ex ID plates - I'd never have thought of looking for them under
Tashjian. The last other product manuals I downloaded to 'bams' never ended
up in the mix and I was unable to get a response on why.

Who is familiar with how the Directories get established on 'bama' and could
clue me in. I'd be happy to download them but would want them under the
Tri-Ex label not Tashjian???

The BAMA site (http://bama.edebris.com/manuals/) has several Tri-Ex tower
manuals listed under "tashjian". They are accepting new manuals for upload.

I have a Tri-Ex catalog from 1969.  I was able to help out another fellow
ham get some information I had on some obsolete towers.  If a hosted place
is found for my ancient manual, I would be glad to scan and forward the
scan file.
