Seeking clarification on choosing correct length balance replacement - old crossbow (spec home windows from 2000) does not match the one in you retrofit video, as it does not have any channel and cord extends well above end of rod. Crossbow/rod is 28" from bottom of shoe, with cord going another 22.5" above and clipped in channel (plastic clips are breaking in many windows).
I can weigh windows and determine weighting spec needed, as well as sort out other needed hardware (balance screw plugs, Sash pivot bars); but need sizing assist.

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out to us. This balance appears to be broken which sounds like the reason you're having trouble determining the length. You'll want to measure an undamaged balance as shown below.
As long as the spring diameter is 1/2", the Series 795 can work for you.
