Default Any sources for 1970 vintage cast iron hydronic baseboard radiators?

I am alreadyworking with a contractor.. He thought the nit was a baseray
when he bid the job, but found that it wasn't interchangeable with what is
there. The picture link in the original post should now be good again.
Don't know what went wrong there...

I need help finding a f couple bolt-together baseboard radiator sections.

The sections bolt together with compression fittings between. I think it
was
installed in this midwestern US home sometime in the 1970's. Holes are 1"
diameter and 6.5" on center. Section is 9" high and 2" thick. Need
approximately 3 1/2 feet total (two sections). One section must be a
right-hand end piece. Also need some associated sheet metal stampings for
end and corner. Any info re manufacturer or possible sources would be
appreciated.

I have posted an ebay "Want it now" that includes a small photo.

Any ideas where I might find these sections would be greatly
appreciated.



Have you tried a real plumbing heating supply house and not the experts at
home cheepo?

Cast iron baseboard is still manufactured. Here is an example:
