Hello there. These old rod balances are no longer made, but we should be able to replace it with one of our tilt window channel balances. To know which, please send us a photo of whatever shoe or attachment is at the bottom of the balance rod. That will narrow down your potential substitute. Many thanks.

That's a huge help, thanks! The modern balance that can replace this old assembly is our Series 795. However, it's not a precise fit, so it takes a fair bit of handiwork to get your window functional again using our parts. The video below will walk you through everything that's required, step by step.
