Try:
- NY Replacement Parts on Lexington and about 93rd St
- George Taylor in Tribeca (I forget the address but maybe Hudson and
Laight)

Also, try taking them apart and figuring out what might be worn and try to
replace those piece(s) at a GOOD supply house

Subject: worn out faucets


I have a pair of beautiful faucet sets, one ancient brass, one nickeled
steel (both c. 1905-1915) that my Vineyard plumber says are "ground out".

But plumbers on the Vineyard are not preservation minded, and I have taken
them with me to New York (I'll toss the cheapo replacements if I can fix
these).   Where would I go for a second opinion?    Christopher Gray
