I have an Acorn Model 120 Stairlift. Straight stairs, about 6 stairs. My mom rarely used it. We are located in New Lenox, IL, which is near Chicago. we are willing to drive 75 miles to meet or will ship if you are willing to pay for shipping costs. Asking $750 OBO. It's in excellent condition.

She passed on Friday, February 24. Thank you all for your support.

The nurse went to see her yesterday, and said she had a day or two. She's so anxious and panicky. She's got the morphine, the xanax, but she still seems so anxious. I hate seeing her this way. I just want her to be at peace. Thanks to all of you for your support.
