Now that I think about it, I'm not sure that the one replaced was from
1969. It could have been replaced before ... The most recent swap (ca.
2002) was without resort to a plumber or repiping. Not much to it---you
need some plumbers putty if you don't have a stainless steel sink. Not
much to it. It was about a one or two hour job as I took my time. Just
follow the directions that come with the new one. You can probably find
directions for your candidate replacement online at the mfgr's website.
