I have a Token antique barber chair that is in good working order. I recently discovered by seeing Rick's Restoration how to twist the top of the handle to get it to recline. Who knew?? Now I cannot get it to come back up. Help me please!?!

You might get better search results if you use Koken in lieu of Token.

In fact, search here at CR4 first. We have had several good discussions about restoring Koken barber chairs.

Maybe he was tokin' when he signed on here.

Simple. Turn the chair up-side-down to move seat back to upright position.

Seriously, can't you just raise the back up and un-turn the handle?

It's spring loaded I think.....it should only decline if there is the weight of somebody leaning back in the chair.....the twist just releases and engages the lock....if memory serves...
