Thanks everyone for the replies. I tried contacting Force 12 but was told they 
don't have any records that old. I have also sent Tom an email but never got a 
reply, I may have gotten the wrong email and will try again. 

I put this beam up for my Elmer when he bought it. It was on top of a 82 foot 
crank up with a 2 element 40 meter and an 80 rotatable dipole. These antennas 
were up about a year and a half when he moved to a new QTH. At the new QTH he 
decided on 2 towers and instead of using this antenna he went with stacked mono 
handers. This triband has been bundled up in a shed since. 

My biggest concern putting this back up is the hairpin. They are soft aluminium 
tubing that have been straightened out for storage. I am assuming the longest 
is for 20, next for 15, etc.  What about the shape of the hairpin, shorter with 
wide spacing, or longer with narrow spacing?

I plan on putting this on top of 80-90 feet of Rohn 45 with a 6 and 2 meter 
beams on top. I weighed the bundles and it totaled right at 80 pounds. I would 
also like to know the wind load specs. I have a Yaesu 1000 rotator but also 
wondering if it will be hefty enough.
