Default crank-down 60' tower

Hello Jay

The bent part is my biggest concern. The unit is close to home and so I
will go and look at it this week. We will see if his 'like new' is the same
as mine.

Hello Steve:

Look for the cable being rusty, I have seen them rusted thru almost.
Look at the pulley's see if they are cracked, bent, or frozen.

Extend the tower out laying on its side is ok look for bent tower pieces.

Look for crackes in the bottom piece at the top, this is where the most
stress is.

The guy says it's like new for $500. Don't know what brand it is but it
does come with a rotor plate and a hinge base. (i haul it home)

What defects should I look for besides the obvious?
