Koken Barber Chair Hydraulics

Was the drawing offered by SolarEagle in your previous thread incorrect for your chair? We never heard back, we thought you were good.

Yes,

Because there is no hex head for plug in bottom. Not sure if bottom cap is threaded or pressed on. Is bottom cap even designed to come off? If not , do I just add fluid from top?

John, this is a lot like asking for a price quote on a sack of groceries.

You have to tell us something. Some pics might go a long way in identifying this. If we don't know what you have, it is difficult to offer any meaningful info.

How come you need to add fluid? Has some leaked out? From where? Have you repaired that? Do you believe an hydraulic leak will repair itself? Do you believe a press-fit plug would hold against the pressure?

I don't know whether a pressed fit plug would hold against the pressure. Is this a quiz. I obviously don't know much about the hydrolics on the chair. I can certainly give you a description or better yet a picture of the chair. I was just wondering if there is usually a date stamped somewhere on the chair.

When I took possesion of the chair the hydroclic mechanism didn't work then.

Thanks,

John

There should be a serial number under the seat....

Is it older than this??

It looks just like that chair, except there is a white porceline frame around the back rest.

Like this?

Seat is round.

I have this exact hydraulic pump and possibly chair. Did you get any info? Would love to know how you broke the piston loose. Will share any info I can collect as well.
