Hello All,

This project is taking me back to 70's. I have tub handles which say "Central" on them. Can someone please tell me who the manufacturer is? I need to replace the stems, handles, and trim. Would you also know if these stems are readily available in Lowes or Home Depot? Thank you in advance!

That is the brand, Central.
Any of the hardware stores should have the parts for those. Typically you would shut down the water, remove the stem(s) and match them up there.
There should come with new seats, which I install with a bit of pipe dope on the threads. They will have a seat tool there too.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
