What have you found and used as a replacement?

It's a simple design, likely many other products' handles would fit.

Ideas? Pics?

Why not get an OEM part. They are still in business...

I've searched online but couldn't find a part number or a price?

You could also call Mark's supply. They sold me my boiler and carry a full line of parts. Ask for John, he is the Keystoker guy...

Thanks.

Bought mine used a few years back for the 'right price' so I don't have a dealer ;)

keystoker handle was over $30 - no thanks, especially since it was drilled crooked, you'd be better off getting something that at least looks nice for that price!
