Free to any "construction minded ham" Wilson model TT-45B crank tower.  
It is in 2 sections and piping is in fairly good condition but the winch 
and cable will need replacing. This antenna was designed to mount 
against the house with a bracket but I did some research and the only 
difference between this old tower and the US Tower MA40 is the the top 
section. It is round while the top of the MA40 is square.  So the free 
standing base and cable system from US tower can be used to convert it 
to a free standing tower -- something I was planning to do to add 
another tower to the existing MA40 I now have. Never got around to 
completing the project and the tower is now stored against the house 
slightly elevated on my concrete driveway.

So all you need is a trailer to fit the nested piping that is 20ft long 
and weighs about 200-300  pounds and a few extra hands to move it to 
your trailer.  I also have the manual for the tower if you decide to 
mount it against a house.  Foundation dimensions, base fixtures, and 
anchor bolts can be viewed on the US Tower web site if you want to 
convert to a free standing tower.
