Balance (spiral shaped) needed, not sure of window make or model

Quick Learner from Alexandria, VA
I've hunted all over and can't find the maker marks or stickers, so I don't know the name or model of the windows.

There is a spiral shaped balance (I believe it's called) that we need to replace. A window in the house does not have them. I have attached pictures showing a window that DOES have the spiral balance and then a couple pics of the window where it's missing.

If it helps, the window also have tilt tabs that look like this:

I am ordering a bunch of those. Maybe that adds a clue as to the manufacturer?

The windows were the originals that came with the house and the house was built in 2000.

Another thing I wanted to mention is that there is no tube on the balance. As you can see in my pics, it's just a spiral-shaped piece of metal between the top and bottom "shoe" or connector pieces. In your catalog, it looks like all of your balances have a cylindrical tube around it. Does that matter?

Hello! I'm confident we can help replace this.

Now, I would bet that your balance does have a tube. Looking at the fourth picture in your first post, your window has a balance cover that's obscuring where the tube would be. I bet if you remove that cover, you'll see your balance is a pretty close match to the types we carry.

As for the balance itself, it'll be either our 5/8" diameter Series 600 or 3/8" diameter Series 900. The best match will depend on the diameter of the aforementioned tube.
