How to fix recliner mechanism?

Old question but this repair might help someone. The problem is probably a broken cable. The origional cable will probably be unobtainable. Try a bike gear cable inner with a plain nipple. If you tip the chair up and thread this from the actuating arm inside the chair through the old cable outer you should end up with the unterminated cable end at the handle. Depending on the handle design you may be able to finish off with a "solderless nipple" or solderless barrel nipple" - you should be able to find a supplier on-line. Good luck
