I got them for $20 each used from an individual ham in
AZ about ten years ago. Don't remember his name or call.
I think I can use a car jack to bring them back to the
specified spacing. I should have tried the fit while
they were on the ground rather than 40 feet in the air. :-)

Same thing happened to me this summer. I put up 4 sections by myself and it
went fine. Then with some help on the ground pulling up the next 2
sections, the leggs did not drop in. I did not measuer them but the leggs
did not seem to match by a small ammount. I used a home made version of the
Tower Jack to force the sections together and then pull them down to the
bolt holes matched. Actually had to drill out the holes as they did not
match exectally either. Not much off, maybe 1/8 of the hole diameter.
Could not get the holes to line up even with a big drift or punch.
