Neutral Short On Old Oven

Model Number: RRG157W2 Brand: Whirlpool Age: More than 10 years

Appliance Parts from AppliancePartPros.com

My old Whirlpool oven is 40+ years old. Testing the plug showed a short from the neutral side of the plug to ground. Ohms testing showed voltage at the neutral side of the gas control valve and reduced voltage at the hot side indicating a possible short. It appears I need a new valve and also need to replace the thermocouple. Is my diagnosis accurate, and is there anyone that has parts for this old oven?
