Block and tackle balance

Quick Learner from DC
Looking to replace these. The stamp on them reads 1620B.

I have a few other sized windows too.

Most are this size.

Hello there. Do the nylon attachments on both ends of the balance lack 'wings', or side tabs? See the diagram below to get a sense of what I am talking about.

If they have wings, please send clear photos of both attachments so I can properly identify them. If they lack wings, then you need either an S351-17 or S390-17. The only difference between these two channel balances is the depth of the bottom nylon shoe, or its 'heel-to-toe' measurement. See the diagram below for reference. Compare both with your old balance to see what matches best. In either case, for a new stamp option choose 1620.
