Years ago, I bought a couple tap handles--the part most likely to break--fr=
om Bob Yule at Autofarm. He was the only vendor I could find that supplied =
that part, so check with him.

Note: The valves can often be 'rebuilt' by  polishing the conical seat with=
 some fine sandpaper.

Does anyone have one they would sell or does anyone know a source other tha=

Thanks,
