Thread: Hancock and Moore Mechanism

  1. #1

    Default Hancock and Moore Mechanism

    I managed to break the swivel mechanism on what I believe to by my Hancock and Moore Director's swivel chair. I hope to attach a photo to this post. Love this chair, and I've had it for several years. I can't even remember where I bought it. Will you sell me a new mechanism?

    The Hancock and Moore 1207 Director's Chair (no longer offered) was usually made with a screw-jack mechanism, however your photo shows a pneumatic lift set up. In order to get you the correct base I have some questions:

    1) Did the chair move up and down when the lever is depressed?
    2) Is there a serial number on a white label laid over the top of the HANCOCK AND MOORE label ot the bottom of the chair?
    3) Do you have the original production tag or a sales receipt for the chair?
    4) if none of the above, a few more photos including one of the entire chair upright and another side shot of the underbase.

    Yes, I can order the part, we have to make sure we get the correct one. Will be around $ 300 shipped.

    I fear that I'm as bad with my reply as I am with tracking this down. I think my last reply was deleted. I can find no H & M documentation, but I'm certain I would've bought this brand because I love it so. I've attached photos. I love this chair, and hope to keep it.

    That's not a Hancock and Moore Director's chair, see what one looks like here. Note the button tufting differences and the arms.

    If there are no labels on it anywhere under the chair, i don't think it's H&M, i don't recognize it and this is the problem with older units where no paperwork is around to document it. Plus, those were not usually pneumatic lifts on H&M for that style chair. Having said that, if you want to order a generic pneumatic lift mechanism we can do that. Price is $ 150 + $ 25 shipping for $ 175 total. There is no guarantee of fitment of use and it would not be returnable, however.

    Thank you for this. I'm sorry for getting us down the wrong path. I've attached a schematic, do you have a generic pneumatic lift mechanism that matches this generally? If so, yes I absolutely want to purchase one.

    Sorry, I do not. Some of these lifts are fairly generic however, you can buy this one off Amazon for not much money - if it doesn't work you're not out much.

    the link you sent me is just the pneumatic lift. I want to purchase the entire pneumatic lift swivel mechanism with the wheel base and attach it to the chair. I will make it work. Please advise how I can purchase one from you.

    You would have to go here and pick out a base you like from one of the chairs shown. There are screw-jack bases and pneumatic lift ones. Once you select one as shown, I can price it out for you.
