[Boatanchors] FS: G E Martin 40' tower

[Brian Hunsaker]

Fellow AMers (and others):

I have a "new in the box" Glen E. Martin Engineering 40', 
self-supporting, tilt-over, aluminum tower. When I say "new in the 
box", I mean I have owned it for several years, but it has never been 
taken out of the original shipping cartons, and assembled. It is 
their model M-13.  It is made of T60-61, and is assembled by putting 
it together with stainless steel hardware, much like an the old 
fashion erector sets of our childhood days. It is 40 feet, and comes 
with a galvanized tilt-over base plate, to which the tower mounts. 
Since it is all aluminum (light weight), it is possible to raise and 
lower the tower with the help of a few hearty friends, or you can set 
a "dead-man pole" adjacent (approximately 2 feet behind), and use it 
to do the heavy work.  With the "dead-man, I raise and lower my other 
Martin, a 50' M-18 (bigger and heavier), without any assistance

I called Martin Engineering, and asked what this tower package would 
sell for, if ordered from them. I was given a figure of $1200.00, 
plus shipping & handling. Since this tower is still in its original 
cartons, there would be no charge for packing - only the freight 
charges to its destination. And note - I said freight charges.  These 
cartons are too long for UPS, or Fed Ex (over 10'), so they either 
have to be picked up at my location (Harlingen, Texas), or shipped 
via common carrier. To give you an idea of the approximate cost, from 
Booneville, MO (factory) to my location here in South Texas, the 
freight was approximately $300.00.  I will consider offers, and/or 
trades.

Please email me if you would like a picture (not the actual tower, 
but a copy of their brochure pictures), or check it out at Glen 
Martin Engineering web site at www.glenmartin.com.

73,

Brian - W5YE
