since others have gone thru this why not try calling your natural gas
supplier? they might know of a local person who can help you.....



Gas company recommended a local appliance repair parts dealer, but they
can't get the parts I still need ... they were only able to get the kit
for my dryer.


I can't help, but I have read where the orifice(s) is drilled out to
accommodate conversion from LP to NG.



Back in the day, late 60s early 70s, I think the conversion was
accomplished by taking the "disk" (or the equivalent) that had an orifice
in it that was inline with the gas supply and flipping it around. Flow in
one direction was for LP, the reverse was natural gas. Memory is hazy, but
I'm fairly sure I did this conversion for my dryer then.

Do I remember correctly?

I only have conspiricy theorys to explain why this is no longer the case.
