I just bought this Time-Life chair. It's lower than I want it to be, because it's missing casters and the tilt mechanism underneath. Unfortunately you can't really tell from these pictures, but the post of the base just connects directly to the chair. Does anyone have any info about where and how I might find the tilt mechanism and whether it's possible to add it?
The third picture shows what I think is missing from my chair.

Lounge vs. Executive
It looks like your chair is the "lounge" version rather than the "executive" version, hence it (1) sits lower (and at a more lounge-y angle) and (2) does not have the tilt / height-adjustable options.
See link.
Sorry.

I don't know that you can dye your chair. I would just reupholster it.
If you want the task version, I might be willing to trade you. I just recently got a very early desk-height version with casters. But like yours, it does not have adjustable height or the tilt mechanism. It's more elegant with the base meeting the seat in a single stem and is closer top the original design, but you do not have as much versatility as you would with a later production version.
