I am looking for the correct shoe and spring to replace the attached photo of an American Craftsman coil balance for a double hung window. The shoe has a 6 printed on it.

Thank you

This looks like a 15-087 Pivot Shoe, which uses Series 180 Coil Balances. It is generally best with this Series to go by stamps on the springs themselves, rather than the shoe. If there is none or you are uncertain, give us the exact window sash weight, and we'll work out the spring weights you need.

Thanks, That looks like them. I also need a pair of tilt latches for the same window: 1 3/8 x 2 3/4. see pic below

Looks like our 26-408 Tilt Latches to me. Take a look and see if you concur.
