Balancer for Weathershield double hung tilt window

Quick Learner from USA
Hello:
My home was built in 1991 with WeatherShield double hung tilt windows.

Note: Attachments refer to a window problem I am having (Total of 6 attachments).

The lower sash balancer is non-functioning.

Note: The lower sash weighs 20lb.

Note: the pivot pin on the sash measures 1/2 " long, 1/4 " wide, 1/8" thick

Question: Do you have a replacement balancer assembly? If so, what is the price of the assembly?

Thank you.

Hello,

Unfortunately, we do not carry a channel balance with the fitting shown in your photos, which was discontinued and is no longer available. We also do not have an exact match for your corner pivot but the 26-402 would be our closest option. Review the dimensions below to see what you think. I'm sorry that we won't be able to offer more assistance with this repair but please let us know if you have any other hardware questions. Thanks for posting.

Thank you for the response.

Is it possible to replace the channel balancer with different balancer that would screw in (Instead of being held with an S clip). Also replace the tilt shoe and pivot pin with a different tilt shoe and pivot pin. Thus we could have a different channel balancer, tilt shoe and pivot pin that would replace the current channel balancer, tilt shoe and pivot pin.

I could provide any dimensions that you might need.

Thank you,

Joe

Casey is correct that, unfortunately, we do not have a confirmed replacement for your balance assembly or know of any parts that you could adapt to the window. We apologize for the inconvenience.
