Does anyone have engineering drawings for the Tri-Ex W51 and base that I can get a copy of? After 40 years of having my tower in, the city is forcing me to get a building permit for having installed the tower. They require stamped and signed structural drawings. Unfortunately the ARRL lists of volunteer attorneys and volunteer certified engineers are way out of date and a useless possible resource.
Thank you

Sounds like you never got a building permit when you installed the tower, and now they require stamped and signed drawings. It also sounds like a neighbor found out you never got a permit and does not like your tower.
Sadly it may require more than just a generic set of drawings, you may need a soil study. Get from your building department exactly what is required. Whatever you do, do not challege them, say "Yes Sir/No sir" and do whatever they require, if you want to keep your tower. They can and will make you take down your tower if you upset them.
I am not licensed in the State of California, there is not much I can help you with.
