Planned obsolescence
We have a couple of 20-year-old recliners, one of which needs new
plastic bushings and drive shaft. But we have been told by the retailer that no parts are available for anything more than 7 years old. The only parts I can find on line are a different size. I may be able to ream out the holes to accept the larger bushings and replace the original square tube by a round one with flats ground in the appropriate places, but that is a pain. Perhaps, when buying anything these days, one needs to ask, "Which parts of this thing are most likely to wear out?" and buy replacements at the time. Perce |
