<html> <body> Anyone know where these are available in the U.S.?

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?    Thanks,    Aaron </blockquote> <x-sigsep></x-sigsep> ------------------------------------------ Aaron Bousel abousel@comcast.net (413) 253-3544 (voice) (413) 253-3846 (voice & fax)</body> </html>
