My 'Koken Chair'

05/28/2010 8:47 PM

I have a Koken chair model L-33522, this chair is used daily. The chair reclines, spins and will not lock. It will pump up, but will not go down anymore. The last time I had someone work on the chair, he said that it had leather washers. This guy has since passed away. Could you please help me? I don't know how much or what type of lubercant to use, or how to adjust anything, or how to clean the mechanical parts of the chair to keep it in working order. Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't know if you've solved your problem yet, but the valve oil used for trumpets and such like brass instruments, or the oil sold for lever-cocked bb guns, and pumped pellet guns, (try your local Wal-Mart, or if you live where Western Auto is still a possibility, try them) will work to restore the leather washer/valve gaskets. I don't know how old they are, and this might be one of those "Drat, I thought it would last longer than that" fixes, that require "refixing" them too often to be practical. But it should work, to at least prove the process. And using the chair till it needs redoing will certainly show you what the repair time line should look like for the future.
