Anyone able to get the casing off the pump on the base of the Koche barber chair? I need to take it off to be chromed.

Looks to be from a Koche barber chair. The round chrome ring would sit at the base and the porcelin tube would fit over top of the ring and hide the lift pump. Did you just find these or did you take them off. I am working on one of a similar style and can't get the seat support out of the pump to get the ring and tube off. Any help with that would be appreciated. The pump works and I am nervous thinking about touching it. Bill Tilman

Why not just clean and paint it? It sounds like you might be in over your head on this....The parts pictured are from Ebay....The alternative is to have it professionally restored....Unless you have unlimited time on your hands and just want something to do....in that case, full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes!

i always wanted a barber chair sitting in the living room. way better than a recliner.

do you have a friend that's mechanically inclined? if they can put it together, then there's got to be a way to take it apart.

there's got to be a barber chair blog on the internet. try going to e-bay, look for barber chairs for sale, they're on ther for sale. contact the owers for advise or if they know of a collectors club.
