I'm in the process of trying to locate an hanger arm for my old Riblet double chair (arm in the center style) I've had sitting in my basement for a few years now. Not having much luck.

Just woundering, with all of these Riblet doubles being removed from service as these resorts upgrade thier lifts, where are the parts going? I wouldn't think there would be too many buyers of used Riblet lifts out there. I'd think there should be hundreds of used parts out there plus their chairs just sitting in yards, or are they all scrapped for their steel?

I have a center pole Riblet that I have had a for sale sign on for about a year.

Asking $225.00.

Remnants of the old Chair #3 at White Pass.

Bill, I think someone on hyak.net wanted your chair.

Well I'll take it if the other person doesn't want it. Is it the whole carrier, chair and pole and all?

So are these chairs really this hard to get a hold of?

I got one from Mt Baker a few years ago. They used to have hundreds of Riblet centerpoles laying around. They are all painted black. I would call their Bellingham business office. They were only $35.00! Make sure if you get one that they give you the right centerpole and chair. I got a Riblet chair and an M-Latta pole and had to go back!

[Bill]

Yeah, Baker was doing that just to clear them out. Crystal charged $300 for Green Valley Chairs. I got the WP ones for $225 each. I wish I got a couple from Baker.

My original intent was to make a swing and a few lounge chairs out of them, but never got around to it.

How many do you want?
Digging down through the bone pile is an archeological layer of history.
Your search is on the bottom...but they exist!
PM me for details.

I have two center pole Riblet chairs that were removed from Chair #3 at WP when they upgraded. They are metal backing with wooden slats for the seat. The can be restored to their ultimate glory.

I am asking $200 each, or both for $325. If you want to see pics, please email me at bill@skilifts.org. (Need $$$ for my EuroRail Pass )

If you are a buyer, I will meet you have way in Western Washington.

I should think you would find a lot of them in the Mid West.

I was also thinking if you charged more than $1.00 Canadian for them it should be a criminal offense.
