Author Topic: What brand/model of seat is this? Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-14-2002 11:26 AM                     I got some seats that reportedly came out of an old AMC theater which I used for my screening room. I have some seat backs and other parts left over, and was wondering what brand/model of seat it is before I post something in the "For Sale" thread. Here are some pictures: ***The Upload Image thing is gone again. *sigh* Here are links:*** here -- "Front Of Chair" here -- "Back Of Chair" Any help would be appreciated, and if you're interested in them, by all means email me!!! =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Jason Burroughs Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 654 From: Allen, TX Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-14-2002 12:12 PM                     Looks like a 70s/80's vintage American Standard seat. Plastic back, metal seat pan. AMC and UA purchased these in bulk I belive  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

However, it does give the appearence of an Irwin Citation, but the key thing was the extra bolt on the bottom of the seat back bracket that bolts to the standard. The standard foot looks a tad bit different than the Erwin Citation, also. Namely, the number of holes it has for bolting to the floor.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-14-2002 02:36 PM                     D'OH! I didn't realize the upload thing moved to the menu bar and was looking for it on the main frame. Sowwy! =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Marc Jones Film Handler Posts: 82 From: Elizabethtown, KY Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-14-2002 07:16 PM                     I agree with Paul it is an Irwin, also there should be a Letter Stamped on the bottom of the seat and Standard.  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-14-2002 10:58 PM                     I edited my first post. After looking it over carefully after the picture was brightened up, I am convinced it is a previous model of the Irwin Citation.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 11-15-2002 04:43 AM                        I would agree - it's an Irwin.  |  IP: Logged
