Have a friend or family who is mechanically savy, or many times a local garage or mechanical shop will do the work and may not charge anything. Get all your manuals, keep record of s/n's, model, electronics version, and any information that you can. Mark all fuses and breakers as to what they control, if the motors take brushes keep extra on hand. I have an Invacare storm (3rd one) and have kept old chair for parts. Advise: If you have a good relationship with your repair person, tell him you want another chair for backup that matches what you have. Many times when someone gets a chair they junk the old one. IMPORTANT, ask the repairman and not the company. My guy takes the chairs and keeps them so if anyone has to pay from their own pocket, he sends the part and tells me to send what it is worth to me.
