I'm afraid I can't identify what you have based on this information. It seems like you have a typical non-tilt window channel balance, but there are still a ton of different possible configurations. In order to narrow it down, I will need you to remove an undamaged version of this balance from the window and show me a clear picture of the top and bottom nylon fitting. The video below will go into more detail.

Hi Tom:

Thank you for the response - I am unfamiliar with these windows and just learning.

The metal channel is 28-1/8" long. Have attached the requested photos. I also need the cap that fits in the top of window. Let me know if you need anything more.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks! That's a huge help. Based on what I see here, you have either our S351-28 or S390-28, depending on the depth of the bottom shoe. That's the only difference between them. I recommend measuring your shoe and referring to our dimensions to confirm the best match.

I also recommend double checking the length of the metal channel. These should end on a full inch, not a fraction.

Finally, concerning your top sash guide, I recommend our 18-009 to start out. Make sure to carefully look over our dimensions to ensure that they all line up.
