Are your lw150 parts gold anodized Eddie? the Tagra is the only version i have seen that's gold. the one in the video looks like the original Tagra,
i had one sold to me as a Tagra years ago, it was not gold,
like the penetrator i bought that was not a hygain penetrator,
I just went to look again, thought I should grab it, POOF! Gone! Vanished into thin air, like it never happened... not even in completed listings.
I looked at it the day you posted, should have grabbed it then.
One reason I'm using ebay less & less is weird crap like this. It was there, now not even showing in completed or sold listings?

that is the exact antenna I have. I screwed up one of the radial tubes that broke on me. There are two sections of tubing put together . It's the CTE LW 150. I bought that antenna back in 1987. I couldn't get the sigma 4 because they stopped making them . I'm hoping I could still get one . LW150 is a big antenna but it's poorly made. I added slits to the tubing with hose clamps. The plastic hubs are also cheap. I'll have to pull it out of the attic to make pictures. Hopefully tomorrow .No gold Bob, and no labels showing the maker either. The parts were given to me and I was told it was LW150 by a neighbor that always claimed to run a LW150. He also gave me the instruction sheet I linked above.
The radiator is a mess of repairs and patches without the radial cone. I have the gamma, but no hubs. The tubes are very thin and were connected using two sheet metal screws, and the kit was obviously "Fixed" as to setup from the factory. The tip was adjustable a little bit and it is about 30'-31' feet long. The radiator at the gamma "Dog Bone" connector is a bit less than1.50" x 6" inches in diameter and length. Compared to my original Sigma4 the kit is poor.
Bob, below is an installation video of the Tagra which is said to have been made by Swissradio of Spain. I have some parts of an old LW150, and it uses screws to secure the radiator elements, while the Tagra uses long bolt on clamps...and looks more secure than the Larry 150
I also have the installation papers that came with the LW150 noted below. http://www.worldwidedx.com/threads/upgrading-the-cte-international-lw-150.138077/#post-363895
