    What you have there Brian... Is a 1960 Compton. I'd try and keep the old flush tower flush valve if you can. Gaskets are still available for it. http://https//www.plumbingsupply.com/americanstandardtoiletparts-compton.html

    Disgusted with Chinese manufactured products

    Quality has become so laughably awful that I almost ALWAYS go out of my way to find a higher quality alternative then to whatever is in the Box Store.

    The latest addition to my toilet collection.

    Still interested! And I'm jealous of your Bolton find!! My dream toilet find is an elongated Standard or Kohler from the 60s like a Cadet or Bolton, it would be my permanent DD. You'd think with me living in such a large metropolitan area that it'd be easy to find these things especially on...

    Commercial Uprights

    My favorite is the Sanitaire SC888, before they got rid of the headlight and changed the motor. And even then my favorite is still the Sanitaire 800 series. Can't go wrong with one of those.

    A very large box arrived on my front porch today.

    That is my favorite model of Rainbow! My great aunt & uncle have a D4 just like yours and I absolutely love using it when I'm over there. I'm sure you're house is just fabulously sparkly with that Rainbow!
