This house we bought (1905 craftsman) has a "modern" full bathroom on the lower level.

The shower stall has a dual knob fixture......not sure if I am correct on this description. I just noticed a drip drip.

I am fairly certain the cold water tap is now leaking--not the hot I hope. I think I know how to pull the valve. If I pull this valve will I be able to find an "over the counter" replacement? Will a hardware store know how to ID it? (I am totally clueless on plumbing issues and will admit that plumbers are not over paid mainly because I cannot get to most of my fixtures as I am too wide in the shoulders.)

Our water/sewer bills are close to $100 a month so I need to fix this leak yesterday.

Thanks for all feedback!
tim
