DAE notice the old salon chairs at a shop in Spokane still beat the new ones?
I was in Spokane helping a friend clean out her aunt's old salon on Monroe and there was a row of 1960s Belmont chairs still bolted to the floor. The hydraulic pumps were dry but the frames were solid steel, and they weighed about twice what the chairs in my current shop weigh. My friend's aunt paid $85 each for them back then and they outlasted three remodels. It got me thinking about how much of our equipment now feels built to be replaced in 5 years. Has anyone here worked with those old pumps and know if they're worth a rebuild?
