<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 163682, member: 37&quot;]Nice chair!&nbsp; Just because you can&#039;t find one doesn&#039;t necessarily make it rare.&nbsp; These are utilitarian items and there is not a whole lot of interest in documentation on them.&nbsp; You may run across another one like it but you are just as likely not to.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think if you compare your mechanism to similar chairs from the same era you should be able to get an idea of what it should look like.&nbsp; Since you need a bolt, spring, and casters,&nbsp; it might be just as easy and cost effective to buy another chair by the same company and cannibalize it for parts.&nbsp; You could always just put your top on another base of any kind.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it really matters much if an office chair is totally authentic.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If what you are talking about is the uneven separation between the back and the arm in the one photo, that is not a repair.&nbsp; These chairs use a steam bent back joined to the bent arm piece.&nbsp; infiltration of moisture can cause these to warp and lose their shape.&nbsp; There are dowels in there to hold the pieces together but the end of the back piece can move and separate from the arm piece.&nbsp; Consequently, they no longer line up exactly as they once did.&nbsp; This is a very common problem with all chairs made like this. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can try to force it back and glue it but it is likely to snap back to this position in a short time.&nbsp; You usually just have to sand off the overlapping sections to get them to line up better.&nbsp; They never look perfect again but at least they don&#039;t look misaligned.&nbsp; Your other option is to live with it as it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
