Shower – Need help replacing this super old shower handle!

replacementshower

Not really sure what kind of handle this is or how to replace it. It doesn't work anymore so no water comes out of the showerhead. There's some little pin in the base of the handle that broke and none of the hardware stores around here have any replacement parts for it. I'd really like to remove and replace it with something more modern.

If you can't find matching parts, you will need to open up the wall and get a new shower diverter. You might be able to do it without damaging the tile if you approach it from the other side of the wall. You can do the work with push fittings and it will be relatively simple that way.
