Graham Field company still makes E&J wheelchairs

According to the company website they still have E&J chairs and accessories in production - http://www.grahamfield.com/Medical_Product_Catalog/E_J__(Everest_Jennings).aspx?b=3&v=1 - so the brand still exists. This article implies, but does not explicity state, that E&J is completely defunct by referring to it only in the past tense. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:50, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I was wondering about that. I noticed that you can still get chairs with the E&J name from medical supply companies, but that E&J doesn't seem to have a website or corporate office that I can find. I suspect the name persists, but the company does not. But I'd definitely like to get this nailed down in a reliable source one way or the other.Penny Richards (talk) 20:43, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Found this 2006 newspaper article from Calcutta referring to E&J as "now defunct US wheelchair maker".Penny Richards (talk) 03:12, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, this 1998 New York Times article said as much, straight out: "Graham-Field bought the company three years ago for $30.6 million. It still sells chairs under the Everest & Jennings name." I'll add a mention of this to the article for clarification.Penny Richards (talk) 03:25, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Parts available?

Need bearings for the swivel wheels in the front and bearings all the way around are they available still it's an old one Need parts breakdown sheet and availability of bearings and bushings for this 1718489 is the number on the tag 98.236.122.245 (talk) 12:02, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Might be best to ask a durable medical equipment dealer near you. Good luck! I know it's frustrating to try to track down parts for an older wheelchair. Penny Richards (talk) 14:07, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
