The old mechanism didn't work, and I can't find a replacement. I need help with what kind to buy from you.The sash is 31 1/2 inches tall, the channels are 5/8 " wide and 3/4" deep. It weighs 10 pounds. The sash is shown in place and removed.

I'm afraid your balance system is no longer available. That said I believe you can use our Series 500 spiral balance with a 5/8" outer tube. I'd also recommend a 17-012 bottom bracket, which attaches to the bottom of the sash. For a 10 pound sash you should be able to use a red tip color option. I would just confirm the length of the old outer tube.

My reference no. is D81904 Thank you for the fast reply.You said to verify the old tube length. Overall it is 303/4 " long. The sash is 311/2"long.Will the series 500 31" be the correct one? Paul responded to my original question. Noel

Hmm... if the length of the old tube is 30-3/4", then I think you could get away with using our S500-31, yes.
