This is all excellent advice. Also it is significantly less expensive to
ship to a business or pick up at the trucking terminal than to a
residence.

Howdy --
Installing just about any kind of base in an existing base is easy. Just
rent a rotary hammer and coring bit and drill new holes for your new anchor
bolts. Use industrial epoxy to glue them in and you're good to go.
BTW I can't recommend the aluminum crank-up. The base bolts for it
were in
the 1/4" range. The tower up-haul line was very inadequate - it might've been
1/4" too and was a white cheap synthetic line. The line eventually broke -
surprise! - and the tower collapsed. IMO professional opinion this aluminum
tower was very under-engineered.
There are websites that'll give you shipping quotes - some of which
will be
more reasonable.
