Can anyone confirm that this is true? I would like to order a new faucet but want to sort out what exactly I need.
I've heard that the Avanti uses non-standard parts, and that Danby used to be hit or miss. I think if you have a newer Danby (645), it's standard. If I were you, I'd order a new faucet, and if it doesn't fit, just order a MM shank, and report back. You can replace the shank without replacing the whole tower. If you want a new faucet, you know you're going to do it eventually, regardless. But I think you should be OK.

be selfish and worry about my liver."
