Subject: Force 12 low profile crank up towers

Thanks for all the suggestions. I sprayed the top slides and pulleys
with LPS-1 and the tower went up 90% of the way with a single battery
pack in the cordless drill! While it was up I lubricated the lower
slides of the lower 2 sections, only the top section was out of reach.
It should be as good as new now.
