Tower I D

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

Thanks. This tower was one of Rogers and was thought to be early Dempster. I found pictures of square eccentrics on other brands of towers but did not see any with the hex eccentrics. Plus it has the single wire with the twist at the ends.

I have some of those X brace wires, but I have no idea where they came from. Never seen the hex tighteners before.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.

Thanks Windy, I can send you some more if you need them.
If I remember this was a tower that got away from Roger as he was letting it down, the lower section twisted pretty badly. What I have is the upper section about,18 feet. I had to straighten 2 of the legs but they were only slightly twisted below the cross piece

Thanks I will let you know. Doubt if I need any for a while.

Appears that same kind of solid wire X brace is used on Woodmanse towers, but that's all i see in common.
