    They were helpful in that they knew exactly what I needed. Unfortunately, what I need is no longer made so I have to change out the pipes, which will be fun since they are all rusted together.

    So, I may need a plumber; anybody on here interested in the pipe removal/replacement and clear the blockage job?

    Here is a shot of the pipe access. Underneath the tub sub-floor is crawl space...3-4ft or so with lighting.

    If you can assemble a lower that replacement is a slice of pie. Even if you couldn't assemble a lower, that replacement job is a piece of cake. Time consuming, yes. difficult, not really.

    Try Flink Supply in Denver. They carry a lot of plumbing stuff used in the older parts of Denver.

    I would 86 those old valves and put in ball valves while you're in there. I've had more trouble with those things than I care to remember with not actually shutting off the water anymore. Anytime I work on a pipe that has one, I replace it.

    Just saw the last picture. It looks like slip fitting on the overflow stand pipe. Should be easy if so

    I don't understand what needs replaced. Can you access the drum trap from the crawl space? If so, should be as simple as opening, then snaking from the open trap.
