The original Tower Jack is no longer made.  A newer/better design is 
manufactured by KF7P Metalworks:

Called the "Yellow Jack".

That said, be EXTREMELY careful disassembling an old tower, particularly 
one that you may not know much of its history or if it was installed 
properly.  Be sure you check the integrity of the tower itself AND the 
guy anchors/guys.  The safest way to take it down may be with a crane.  
If you can..a sawzall/torch may be a better solution.
