Measure the hole spread on your sink. Mine is standard kitchen sink spread. Home Depot or Lowe's would probably be a lot cheaper.

Hmmm...It may well be easier and worth replacing it with a home model. Lowes sells a holesaw bit by Lenox which will cut a 1 1/4" hole in stainless steel for about $10. I used one when I installed a soap dispenser in my new sink.

You may want to take the faucet to a 'real' plumbing supply house and show it to them. It is worth a try. My kitchen faucet is in the middle of a rebuild at this moment and it is a 'Moen' single hole faucet with two knobs of at angles to the main support. Very heavy, very nice, and very rebuildable.

I just replaced my "single hole" designed unit with an American Standard unit I purchased at Home Depot. The hole in my stainless sink was a little bit too small so I enlarged it with a skilsaw. I put down masking tape to mark the cutting area and protect the stainless. It's amazing how much a shiny new faucet lights up the room. I went ahead and replaced our bath unit too and the coach feels 10 years newer. Greenlee makes a great hydraulic hole punch set that can safely make a new hole too. I think you can rent them at most good tool rentals.

My faucet is the same as Jack's, and it has a peculiar problem. Water sprays from pin holes in the underside of the spout, and the chrome there is ready to peel. Also, the knobs are inconvenient (Mama prefers a single handle).

Any advice on a replacement would be appreciated. I'd like to avoid any modification more than enlarging the present hole in the sink.

hilarlee- What is the model of the American Standard unit you used?

Hi Olroy, after looking at my paperwork I see I installed a Delta unit not an American Standard. It's a single handle pullout signature faucet model 470. Home Depot charges $128.00. Note: When I replaced my bath and kitchen faucets the plastic supply lines were too short to reach the new connections on the new faucets. The plastic coach lines offered "no slack" either. I had to purchase a couple 12" flex lines and nipples to make the connections for each faucet. I don't know why suddenly faucet manufacturers are making the brass hookup stems 3" shorter...I guess everything $ adds up. Larry and Heidi

Our 1975 had a single handle Delta Faucet. I can't remember the model number, but it was a little smaller than the new ones (everything gets bigger with age- doesn’t it). I was a Packaging Engineer for Delta for the past 10 years. Go to any of the "big box" stores (home depot, lowes, menards) and find the 1-800 number for Delta on the package. Give them a call. If in fact your faucet is a Delta, I've known them to send a replacement faucet out within a two-day period (or at least the parts needed to fix it- including spouts that have pin holes). Granted it may not look exactly like your 27-year-old faucet-- but Delta is a great company. They stand behind their product.

thanks gary..will give it a try!

Anyone interested in a new faucet might want to take a look at eBay. There are almost 3,000 faucets up for auction. I saw several single-hole types using a search for "bar faucet". A simple Google search will bring up several plumbing suppliers where you can find photos and retail prices. The lowest retail price I could find on the American Standard 4223s I just bought was $94.52 plus shipping. I got it on eBay for $36.95 including shipping.
