50+ year old shower stems

Posted by Se�n on January 27, 2003 at 18:58:06:
My home has the original plumbing, which was built/installed in 1955 (California). Raised foundation. Cast Iron tub with a not so great back splash in main bath, tiled shower in second bath. I cannot figure out what brand of stems/hardware was used. None of the local home supply Warehouses have anything I can use. ABout All they have is assorted o-rings. I need to stop the leaks, and possibly replace the stems, handles, and escutsheons. BUt HOme Diego, Lowers, Nor a true Valuless have anyhting I can use. Any ideas besides changing ou the Manifolds? American Standard Price Pfister K�hler None are exact.
