The balance you show resembles our S385-26. Your old stamp of 25 3 should match our more modern 2530. 

To determine the balance for 29" wide by 15" high sash, I need you to give me the height and weight of the sash on the other window, the one supported by the S385-26. That will allow me to to compare the ratio between the two windows and estimate the size and strength you need for the other balance. I'll also need the exact weight for the 15" high sash.

Thanks for getting us the sash weight for the smaller window. Were you also able to get me the height and weight of the window supported by the 25 3 balance?

Thank you! So, if your S385-26 was installed on a 29-1/2" high sash, then for a 15" high sash you want to take 3" off. I recommend our S385-12 with an 1130 stamp.
