Hello all. I have a house that was built in 1967 in Charlotte, NC. I believe this is the original shower/tub faucet. It is a 3 handle unit. The center diverter stem has stripped threads and is just spinning. I am trying to locate a replacement, but can’t figure out what brand or model it is. The only identifying marks anywhere are on the drain plunger control. It says GERBER. I. Guess the faucet assembly could be the same brand, but I have searched and can’t find any GERBER stems that match. Here are the specs.

Stem has a “D” shaped broach.
Length 3.868” (not including washers and screw)
Diameter .402”
Threads 16tpi, current OD is .452”, but they are worn down, so I don’t know what the original thread diameter is supposed to be.

Bonnet has a sealed end where the stem comes through. This end is outside threaded at 1.080” outside diameter, 16 tpi for the handle escutcheon.
Bonnet threads that screw into the fixture housing are .992” outside diameter, 27 tpi
Length 1.695”
Outside Diameter .884”
Inside Diameter .546” end that faces housing
Inside Diameter .416” end that stem goes through

Thank you for any advice or assistance!
