Dear Forum,
I found a few threads here that helped folks identify Royal Brass replacement parts. I need to replace the stem of an old shower valve that I believe is Royal Brass based on stamps on the handles (R.B.C. MFG, small crown) and the handle being made for a 16 point broach. I believe it dates from the 50s, but it may have been updated during a renovation in the 90s.
The screw that held the handle in place broke off in the stem, and when when I tried to drill it out of the stem, I ended up wrecking the inner stem threads.
I've attached a few pictures. I haven't been able to find any replacement parts online that look like what's shown in the pictures, but I think I may need to take things apart more fully to expose / remove the stem.
Any advice on the part for this particular stem or the process of fixing this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel
