Channel Balance - Need Help

Quick Learner from Clearwater, FL

We purchased a foreclosure property that has vinyl windows with no label or marking. The channel balance on both sides of a 51" width window are broken. The only identifying mark is on the channel balance which is 20-9. There is a RM a bit away from the number and BSIN running perpendicular on the channel balance. This is a tilt window

Can you help identify the balance that we need? Thank you.

Hello,

We'd be happy to help you identify your balance, but we'll need to see the entire balance in one picture and the length of the metal channel to make sure you get the correct replacement. Thank you!

Thank you. The length is 21 inches, and I have attempted to take pictures but I think will represent the balance.

I'm afraid I can still only see the top of the balance. There should be a shoe or clip at the bottom, perhaps at the end of a cord. That will help us identify what you need.

Thank you. I have taken a picture of the base of the channel balance and tried to take a picture of one that is in another window. There is no plastic clip on the bottom

I still can't make it out. I can somewhat see the shoe I need to examine, but it's too obscured while installed. I will need you to remove the balance from the window entirely so that we can see the shoe clearly. You have it labelled as the base.

We removed the windows. The channel balance is missing the clips. The base where the clips hook...pictures attached

Perfect, thank you. Please see our Series 795 channel balance, I think you'll find this is a good match.
