Jacobs Tower Suppliers

Post by hwy8 »

I know that Jacobs bought their towers rather than making them: Was there a primary supplier? Since I'm going through the trouble of rebuilding a 2500w, flyball-governed machine, I might just as well shop for an appropriate tower. I think Woodmanse was a supplier but it was manufactured to JWE spec's so just any tower of theirs wouldn't do. Any thoughts?

Good question..i don’t know who provided the full Jacobs towers. I do know that early on Jacobs wound sell just their special stub tower, 3 or 4 legged so you could adapt it to whatever tower you had or could cobble together. There may be someone out there that knows. You could try Paul Jacobs at Jacobs wind.net.
