For Sale Aircraft Seats for Sale

[Kenny Phillips]

I've inherited a trailer full of mostly old avionics and stuff from a friend, remnants of a shop that closed a dozen years ago when his friend died.
I'm cherry picking the "desk ornaments" (got an A-10 G-meter!) and will perhaps eBay a lot of the smaller items. I'll post an inventory when it's not a million degrees outside.
But this pair of seats isn't for what I thought.
Any ideas on what they fit? They do slide, and fold down, don't have height adjustment.

Beechcraft? They look similar to the seats in my Musketeer. Does the arm for the slide lock move vertically or horizontally? Mine moves up to lift the locking pin out of holes in the rail. IIRC, Pipers move side to side, but it's been a few years since I've sat in one.

A poster on the Beech Areo Club forum is selling seats from a Sundowner. This pic is from his sale posting. See if the bottom of your seats look like this:



I've been told that all the seats for the baby Beeches (Musketeer, Sundowner, Sierra, etc.) are compatible. I don't know about other Beechcraft.

This shop refurbishes seat frames for GA aircraft. Maybe contact them and they could help identify, and maybe make an offer. Seat frames are $4000, $5500 ? He repaired our club's pilot seat frame, otherwise we would have had to buy a rebuilt one for $4200.

That looks quite similar what I have (9" centerline on the slides, across):

Thanks, I sent Chuck the pictures.

The slide locking handle and pin look like mine. I think your seat is likely for a Beech.

Final: the seats are for small Beechcraft, and aren't popular enough to be very valuable.
