I tried HD and Lowes, they don't have the right ones. Any advice on where to look next, hopefully local? I also tried a couple websites but I can't determine the manufacturer, so any identifying advice would be great too. I'm sure it's a common entry level fixture like everything else in the house!   Master Plvmber Citizen Username: Master_plvmber Post Number: 517 Registered: 3-2003 Posted on Tuesday, April 4, 2006 - 3:28 pm:        Common entry-level fixture doesn't mean anything. There have been literally hundreds of manufacturers throughout the years. You'll need to go to a good parts supplier. I think Palmer is good for that kind of thing.

Center Island near Pearle Vision/Barnes and Noble area. Obviously, if you bring the "Hot" button with you, they'd have a better chance of matching it up. They've been there a long time so I know they have old stock in their hundreds of little drawers. They helped me find an old knob to a shower that, of course, HD did not have.
