Guest guest Posted August 3, 1999 Report Share Posted August 3, 1999 J, Check with your local wall -mart store. They carry them at a great price. I volunteered at a nursing home last year and all the folks there got their chair from wal-mart.If you can get your Dr. to write a RX. for it wal-mart will file it with your insurance or medicare.They are very helpful about getting it done for you. It will cost you almost nothing. Good luck , Yoly J wrote: > From: " J " <denisej@...> > > Does anyone out there know about fixing electric lift chairs.
