    Foot lock tub drain
    Hi Myra, I saw your post from Oct. 15, 2006 re: the screw you found after removing the top of your foot lock tub drain. Sounds like I have a similar drain stop and was wondering how you were able to proceed after hearing from Speedball1.
    Any reply would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Thomas

    Go for it! Let me know how you make out...
