From tims_datsun_stuff at outlook.com Sat Dec 6 11:02:12 2025 From: tims_datsun_stuff at outlook.com (Tim .) Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2025 18:02:12 +0000 Subject: [Shop-talk] odd cartridge?? Message-ID: I need to replace at least the cold cartridge in our shower--probably just do both IF I can find replacements. I do not know how old this system is but assume 40+ years, maybe 50. This is what it looks like before full removal. At this stage in disassembly, it looks nothing like any of the videos I have looked at online. Does anyone recognize this? What are my chances of finding a replacement? Or should I just hope I can rebuild it? I can find no markings to ID the system.

If you have it, chances are other's in your community also have it and a smart local person can take care of you.
