The mechanism is quite simple, one long threaded rod held by two fixtures that always get loose. I've attempted repairs a couple of times but without much success, or, I should say, long term success. One of the benches has lost a piece of the mechanism. The department won't spring for a new Jansen bench. Does anyone know if these are still being made and/or if replacement parts are available?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Aaron</SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><DIV>Sounds like you may be talking about a bench like I got from Schaff more than 20 years ago.
