When my daughter & sil bought their house, it had a electric stair chair in it. They didn't want or need it, so it sat in their garage for a few years. I went up there today and brought it home to give to our church to use on the basement stairs . It is a Wecolator, made by the Cheney Co. Inc. 3015 163rd St, New Berlin, Wis. Model RS-19351-42-82
It is set up for the wrong side of the stairwell. I was looking at it to see if it could be turned around or not. Anyone have any experience with one of these? It doesn't use a cable, the lower part of the beam is fitted with gear teeth and a sprocket engages the teeth to move the chair up the rail. I thought the seat would swivel, but after looking at it, I'm not sure it will. Just wonder if anyone had any experience with one of these. I Googled Wecolator, and they aren't made anymore. Chris

It seems to me that it would also work if you could tilt the chair the opposite direction and mount the rail accordingly (flipped end for end to keep the beam against the wall).
