I have a broken delta shower diverter that needs to be replaced, the main problem is that I don't know how/where to find the right replacement part, as the house was built in the early 80s.
Here are a couple of pictures I took:
Wondering if I can get away with just replacing the diverter or if I have to replace the whole thing with something new?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

There is only one model, so you do not have to worry, although it will be chrome rather than the antique brass of the old one.

That valve predates the "life time guarantee".

Thank you for the replies! So should I order the part from Delta or I can get it from Home Depot or Lowe's?

Delta's number is 1-800-345-DELT. Your valve is probably a model 912.
