Subject: [Shop-talk] ongoing/updated Re: odd cartridge??

I pulled off what turned out to be just a retaining "nut". It exposed what =
you see in the two pictures.

I assume I can pull the gray plastic bit off if necessary.

Is that notch in the bottom of the brass collar meant to be used with a too=
l to remove the cartridge?

If so, I guess I get to buy a new tool.

Thanks
tim

Subject: odd cartridge??

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 bu=
t assume 40+ years, maybe 50.

This is what it looks like before full removal. At this stage in disassembl=
y, 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? O=
r should I just hope I can rebuild it?

I can find no markings to ID the system.

Thanks
tim
