    I'll buy that and sell your buddy the pieces he needs for 2500.00 if he is desperate :<0) Just to help him out, you see, I am sitting in a nice barbers chair now already.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    The pieces are castings. I was told welders fear castings.

    It is possible and not hard to weld cast metal it is all in how you do it, just like honing a razor. How big is the part and can it be shipped cheap enough?

    Chrome finish. Would need to be rechromed, right?

    What I need to do is get the low down chair breaker joined up here so he can ask his own questions. I am again a simple stand-up shaver since the broken leg got fixed. I was told the chair breaker guy was engaged in some kind of mano a mano lap dance but there is no video proof. Its probably true.

    A good, professional welder can do castings. I had a broken cast part break last year and three professional welders told me that they didn't feel comfortable doing it, but recommended me to someone who might be able to it. The fourth welder (an older gentleman) was able to do it. The only problem was that his welded and chromed part looks better than the original part on the other side.
