My two Rochelles have been in use 47 years. The one that gets the most use is having some flush valve problems. They use a flush ball which I have replaced a number of times. Replacements seem to use aluminum rods with a slight brass finish. I have been forming and threading rods out of copper wire that doesn't corrode like the aluminum. The current problem is the flush mechanism doesn't reset so the ball can drop. Maybe disassembly and cleaning can resolve the problem.
A complete replacement flush assy costs near $380 so I have been considering a new toilet. The tub /shower, ladies lav and toilet were a pea green (not their name) so a white replacement would be too stark. Also I want one piece for ease of cleaning. The market is confusing so many flush problems with the new stuff. I have only had the use the plunger on rare occasions and I don't think the bowl could run over unless a clog and leak occurred simultaneously.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Also is there any aftermarket conversion flush assy that could replace the pricey OEM assy?
