Hello,

We can supply your replacement balances but it will need to be a custom order due to the length, extended travel pulley system and unique combination of end attachments. We just sent over an order link and price quote for you to review. Take a look and let us know if you need anything else. Thank you!

Ok, checked the second sash to make sure and it is slightly heavier

Sash A is 18.9 lbs
Markings. 26-5 AQ5 CMC 17.
Sash B is 23.6 lbs
Markings. 26-4 KP5 CMC 57.

Thanks

We'd be happy to send you updated order links for (2) 26-4 and (2) 26-5 stamped balances but it seems like you may have switched the windows that they came from since the 26-4 stampe is calibrated to support a sash between 17-21.99. The 26-5 balances would support a sash between 22-25.99. Just let us know if you would like to go ahead with two of each stamp code and we'll be able to send over your new order links.

After switching sashes problem solved. Previous owners must have cleaned, thinking they were interchangeable. Thank you!!

That's great news! Just to clarify, you will no longer be needing replacement balances since swapping the sashes corrected the problem?
