Hello,
I am working with Andersen 3046 double hung (around 1978) windows and Andersen 1626043 counter balance (has number 11600-2 stamped on it). I believe this is Swisco 24-431 Sash Balance. In about half the cases I will be able to rebuild the counter balance assembly but I would like to use the same type cord as it seems very strong. It appears to be 2 mm braided nylon (several small strands braided). Could you identify a source where I might order a small quantity of this cord,? I have several windows I'm repairing.
Thanks,
Rob D.

Good Morning,
The replacement Andersen operator boxes we sell are genuine Andersen replacement products. Andersen does not sell the replacement string you are asking about. I do know where you could find replacement string like that. I would start local at your mom & pop hardware stores and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I could not be of more help.
