I need water control valve and washers for an old wooden high tank water closet &/or a plumber who knows where to get them and can install it.

Bathroom Machineries might be able to help:

All I ever bought from them were repro faucets [very clever compression faucets that look almost exactly like the virtually unrepairable c. 1899 Fuller cocks that came with the wash cove basins in  my house] but they list high tank toilet parts.

Also, there may be standard parts that fit. I have the original 1899 low tank toilet in my main bathroom. It requires a ballcock with an unusually long tail piece. Over thirty-eight years it’s needed replacement three times. The first time the plumber [my late father-ih-law] had to hunt for a NOS part. The second time a plumber had a longer tail piece welded on to a standard ballcock, the third time another plumber found that a standard plastic pressure-operated devise fit just fine. It aactually works better than an old fashioned ballcock and float. It may not be authentic, but I don’t much care what’s inside my toilet tank, as long as it works.

Have you tried NY Replacement Parts on Lexington Ave around 95th (?) St in Manhattan? Call them if you haven’t. I doubt they have them but they may know where you can get them.
