[PVRCNC] Antenna System--Buy it or earn it!

In celebration of my 80th birthday this month, I am downsizing to a
no-climb antenna system (SteppIR on a Hazer to 45'). To do this I need to
remove my TH7-DXX, Ham IV rotator (with control box), and three sections of
Rohn 25. (two regular plus pointy-top). The Hazer already has a rotator so
the present one is included in the deal.
Two options:
1) (Preferred) Bring some friends as volunteers with appropriate climbing
gear (or use mine) to disassemble and bring everything down. I do not have
a gin pole or tower jack but I believe there is someone in the club who
does. I won 't mention any names but the call sign ends in "GU". I'm
keeping the guy assemblies for now as I'm shifting the upper Phillystran
down to the reduced tower height, but I might have some extra stuff for
sale. Otherwise, when everything is on the ground the above items are
yours. Use 'em or sell them, I don't mind but it would be nice to see some
more aluminum growing in NC.
Or,
2) Pay me whatever I can get a 75' crane or bucket truck for to take it
down from the top. I'm estimating $600-700.
As is, where is, no warranties but everything worked well in CW Open. One
element is bent from a brush with an intrusive pine tree a couple years
ago, but I think it can be straightened out with maybe a small replacement
at the tip. The balun was replaced a few years ago.
Offering first to PVRCNC, then to PVRC and then I'll probably take it down
and sell to recover the crane cost.
