Hi,
Attached are two pictures of my existing balancers that I am told are Ultra-Lift balancers. They are black tipped and 31.5" long from tip to tip. Do you carry a replacement balancer for these?
Thanks,
Tom

Hello,

Ultralift balances would have a stamp printed on the housing tube, which I don't see in your photo. The bottom also differs from a hybrid balance. Your assembly looks like a closer match to either the S600-31 or S900-31, depending on the diameter of the housing tube. Take a look and let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi Casey,
Thanks for your feedback.
My balancer is identical to the one shown in the (70898jpg) photo below, which I saw in another post on your website that also said that it was a S600.
Since I had to measure it while it was still in the white plastic tube, I got a measurement of approximately 28.5" from the top to the black tip; therefore, would I order a 28" or 29" balancer?
Thanks,
Tom

If your balance is an exact match for the assembly shown in these photos, I would recommend the S600-28 spiral balance. Keep in mind that the black tip option will support a window sash between 31-40 lbs. If you have any uncertainties, feel free to get back to us with additional photos of your original assembly. Thank you.
