After many years had to change my office chair. Not sure where I got that one from, but the feature I liked was it adjusted from computer height to then also high enough to look through my microscope.
Well earlier this summer it broke and while I fixed it, what it really needed was for the base to be welded back together. Welding ?!? , well I was never good at that in high school, and have moved away from my farmer friends also a friend who welded vacuum enclosures for Lawrence Livermore Labs.
Best was to find a replacement, so Black Friday deals at Staples. The new one shown at the top after assembly and ready to move in.
Yes I really did read the instructions, this time. No left over pieces.
What will happen to the old guy, retired to the hangar for occasional use there.
