“This chair manufactured by Hall Ski-Lift Company (1960-1985), was the part of the original lift to the summit of Camelback, Tannersville PA called the Sullivan Lift that was installed in 1963. When Camelback replaced this lift with a high-speed quad in 1995 and Jay Peak was considering expansion, Bill Stenger acquired it to provide lift access
to the main mountain for future condominiums in the Jay Peak Village area.
“Jay Peak’s staff led by Buddy Loux helped disassemble and bring it to Vermont. After refurbishing and maintenance it was installed and opened in 1995 as the Village Chair. When Flyer was installed in 1999 to replace the Green Mountain Double (which locals referred to as Mountain Dick’s chair), the chairs from that lift replaced the ones on the original Village because they had footrests.”
What is still unknown is where the Borvig terminals came from.

The windows on the drive look in pretty sad shape…

It looks like you cannot clearly see through them.

Ah. They look like original opaque windows to me, much like the ones on our LPA detach terminals.
