Paidar Chair Assembly - Help Please

10/13/2013 2:38 AM

Hi! I'm restoring a Paidar barber chair and I have it all back together except I can get the footrest on. It's parts are just a steel cylinder like the shape of a large pill that it seems should slide into a hole on the chair where the foot rest goes to hold it in place and allow it to swivel. Problem is it won't fit. Does this make sense to anyone?? Help would be much appreciated. Driving me crazy! Thanks!

Check all orientations of the relevant parts. There may be matching slots or sectors cut out that limit the motion to between full up and full down.

Oh, I didn't realize that the chair should be mounted on the ceiling.

Don't knock it--with the hair hanging down, one pass with a buzz saw does the trick. That way, haircuts could cost $10 rather than $20+.

Again, Did it fit before?

It might be from a different chair.

Thanks everyone! Turns out I had to remove the leather foot rest piece first in order for it to fit.
