I'm going to have to put a rebuild kit in the head on my 1979 CS27. It has a
Wilcox-Crittendon unit that looks like it was OE, but there is no indication
of the model, so I can't tell which kit to get, or even whether a kit is
available for it. Can you give me a clue as to how to tell?

Most likely Dave is right...it's the Headmate--the "budget" model W-C
toilet. If it is, unless it has a bronze pump cylinder and base, after
25 years I'd replace it instead of rebuilding it...'cuz over time
pumping wears the pump cylinder and other parts that aren't in the
rebuild kit.

To be sure which one you have, go the W-C website at
http://www.wilcoxcrittenden.com/sanitation.asp?bid=
and check it against the photos of their toilets. If it's not the
Headmate, you definitely want to rebuild it...'cuz their top of the line
toilets are built to last 100 years with minimal maintance and have
purchase prices in excess of $700.
