Faucet repair?
 
Before attempting to discover if the faucet has replaceable washers or
other things I can easily purchase is there any way to tell in advance?

The faucet only drips sometimes. If I turn it on and off hard a few times
it usually quits dripping. Maybe something besides a washer?

Suggestions?

TIA

The old type washers have been gone for years but Deltak has a kit for
theirs. Look up the brand and type you have and you can probably find a
kit of some sort.

Yes, everyone I've seen has either a washer or cartridge. Generally the
individual faucets have washers, the one handle type have cartridges.
The problems become that often they are very old, corroded, scaled,
hard to take apart.
