I purchased a top from Sunbeam Specialities. I believe the box said it was a
Robbins top.
I am quite happy with it.
Installing a top requires a great deal of patience and perseverance. I had
Smitty do the install with my kibbitzing.
He would tug and tighten screws, step back, look, curse and then tackle it
again.
Find somebody who has done a few and apprentice from them.
