The tower, in question, looks a lot like my
50' EZ-Way tower. I had a difficult time
determining what it was, but finally found
someone with information. I think EZ-Way
made a 4-section tower, too.
You might be able to find out further information
on them.

up tower
The photos tell me that it is not in the same
strength class with UST and
TriEx. The rod cross braces are smaller diameter
than current towers. The
width of the top section is smaller than current
towers. The corner tubes
appear to be thinner wall than in current towers.
The pulleys and their
attachment are very fragile compared to current
towers. I believe the
bar/spring gadgets are latches which are set by a
pull rope when the tower
is fully extended. I have seen a tower with
latches like that somewhere but
can't remember where. I believe that tower was
guyed at the top of the
bottom section.
I would be reluctant to put anything larger than
a small tri bander on it
and no stacked antennas.

I tried this the day I joined the group but guess
it did not get
through.I bought a used crank up tower that I
guess is 70' in four
sections and has no cables on it and trying to
figure how to rig
cables.Pictures can be seen at
http://www.qsl.net/kd5aq/tower.html
It is not a Triex I have been told. Thankful for
any help.
