[NLRS] Tilt-over base for a regular tower?

Friends,
I am just about to load the truck with a bunch of stuff to sell at our La
Crosse area swapfest (tomorrow at 8 am - 1 pm at the Onalaska Omni Center,
by the way, for any who might be interested.) I have a question about
towers. I have a four section tower with thrust bearing, rotor plate, etc.
in my shed. I was thinking of bringing it along to sell. But I'm
wondering if it's possible to have a tilt-over base made for such a tower.
Basically, I don't want to horse around with climbing towers and messing
with antennas while in the air. It's not the heights (I'm Army Airborne
qualified ;o) I just don't want to mess with that anymore. If a capable
machine shop could build a plate that could be bolted to a suitable
foundation and the tower could be tilted over for work on the ground or at
least at ladder height, then I'd consider keeping this tower.
So, those of you who are savvy on tower details, can you give me the quick
"yeah, that's possible and it'd cost you approximate $yyy to do it" or "Hey
Palm, that's crazy talk. Forget it!" answers?
Thanks and 73,
David W9HQ
