Need Barber Chair Refurbished

[Open Channel D]

I just picked up a Belmot Barber's Chair (circa 1953) that needs restoration.
I got it for free, so I don't mind paying to get it done. The chair is in central PA and I would like to get it refurbed in PA. I know there's a guy in Chester, PA who does them, any ideas out there? Thanks

Perhaps talk to a few barbers...there's a chance one of them may have had to get a chair re-done once in their career.

You might want to contact a local business that restores old cars. They'll be able to handle the upholstery as well as send out any chrome that needs replating or a part that needs paint or powdercoating. And congrats on the great find! I've always wanted a barber's chair.
