Thank you for reaching out to us! I can't identify your balance from these photos, unfortunately. I'll need you to remove an undamaged balance from the window with the attachments intact and show us some photos in order to help. See the related video below for more information.

Metal channel is 1/16" shy of 33".
Easy to send more photos, if needed.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for getting back to me! What you have here is a special type of balance that will have to be a custom order. The key detail here is the stamp; specifically, how your stamp starts with "86." That tells me that your balance has a special calibration that isn't matched by any of our standard parts. However, please note that our replacements will have a 33" long metal channel and we can't promise it will work for you due to the difference in metal channel lengths. 

Our minimum for custom orders is 2 so what I will do now is email you a purchase link and price quote that you can use to place an order on our website.

Your parts installed perfectly, but I discovered the reason for the original failure: the sash part that captures the balance on the way down was broken out. Although some of the plastic trim is gone, I'm assuming the two Phillips head screws will hold a replacement part in place.

Would you be kind enough to send me that part.
Thank you,

P.S. Your videos are super-helpful, but my sash weighs about 5x as much as the one in the video.

This part is called a top sash guide and yours looks like it may be a match for the 18-171. Take a look at the specifications and see if you agree.

Yes, that looks like the part. Please bill and send.

The 18-171 top sash guide is a stock part so there's no custom order needed. You can place an order for this part directly on our website at your convenience.
