[Tower-Speak] Triasto Tower information

Does anyone know if Triasto Towers is still in business and if not, what 
became of them? Perhaps they were swallowed up by Telrex or someone 
similar? I have a 3-section crank up tower I'd like to put up, but it 
has no base. Originally it had three small, thick L-mounting brackets, 
one for each leg but they were rusted in place and left. I'd like to get 
a one-piece T type base if there is one available. Otherwise I'll get 
one welded up, just hate to re-invent the wheel if it's already been 
done by someone else.

There was also a 'deadman' designed to bolt under the legs of the tower, 
with a post and hand winch attached for tilting the tower over for 
service. Are these available from anyone in a somewhat generic form, say 
- by tower weight/size, leg spacing, etc?

Thanks -
