I purchased this 1940's era Koken barberchair for $620 online. The leather upholstery is cracked and needs replacing. There is light rust on the bright work, so I am going to enquire different shops about having it rechromed.
Restoration work started on antique Koken barberchair.

Very cool! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
Hydrolics still good?
Likely will need clean up and new seals- they are probably dry rotted.
True. I have a barber chair in my garage from the 70's. Needs a new home this Spring.

That is excellent. You'll be glad you got it my friend.
Excellent. After this many years, that would normally be a weak point.
What a great project. Subscribed!

My instructor from my aviation hydraulics class would have me pushing the earth for misspelling my MOS title.
