Title: sunroc water fountain
Post by: epb5 on October 09, 2007, 01:28:36 pm
I guess this is the right section for me to post this in. This is another of my odd duck projects,i saved it from an upper floor of an office building as they were clearing it out. I have gone thru it top to bottom and this is the last thing holding me up from fully using it. The top drain plug was damaged (and i damaged it more getting it off) So i cannot reuse it. I just can't seem to find any other places to find one that might even fit. So, before i have to build some entire new   drain from scratch...Anybody have any ideas?
 :help:

Where exactly on the water fountain is this located and what kind of damage was done to it?

It is the drain in the top, in a perfect world it would have just unscrewed up and out of the drain. But it came apart on me when i was taking the whole thing apart.
(but hey, better then breaking the porcelain i figured...)

Thanks for the link but I've been down that road. I ended up talking to the oldest guy that worked in parts. He said that they have no records that go back this far(This is the 1945 model) because they have moved  3 times and had the factory burn down once in the late 50's.
