Channel Balances

This is the balance from the first of 3 window banks. The numbers stamped on the metal channel differs but otherwise they appear to have the same dimensions - 13 5/8" long, 9/16" wide. The top and shoe appear to match Series 835.

The spring length differs but I assume that is due to wear.

The window panel they fit in are 7.5 to 8.5 pounds.

The stamp on the metal shows "13 1 B.S.I. RB" with the "B.S.I." tilted 90 degrees.

The other two, which I will post next show "13 2 B.S.I. PT" and "13 3 B.S.I. PV".

Here is the third of 3 balances.

I need 2 of the first and third balances and 12 of the second, a total of 16.

Let me know how to order the correct balances ASAP. I need to replace before we can close on the sale of our home.

Thanks.

Sure, we can specially make this balance. I will send you three special order links for each quantity requested.

I see I accidentally set 16 as the quantity for one of my links, which was my mistake. Sorry about that! There were a lot of numbers flying around so I must have lost track.

I'm a little confused about what you're saying in this most recent post, though. You say you need 2 of the 13-1 balance, but then you say you need 2 of the 13-1 balance again. Your final request is for 12 of the 13-2 balance, but in your previous posts you had requested 12 of the 13-3.

I just want to be 100% sure now, since there's so much confusion. Did you need:

2 of the 13-1 balance
2 of the 13-2 balance
12 of the 13-3 balance

If so, I'll resend the final order link that I originally set as 16 and change it to 12 instead.

If this isn't correct, please clarify. For each balance, you can ignore the letters following the stamps. In other words, ignore the "RB" and "PT." Just focus on the 3 digit numbers. Based on your photos, you had a 13-1, a 13-2, and a 13-3.

I received the links. However, the quantity is wrong.

Are these three balances different other than the stamp?

I need 16 total (8 windows).

Based on the stamp, I need 2 for 13 1 RB and 2 for 13 1 PV and 12 for 13 2 PT. But if they are the same other than the stamp, I need 16 of the replacement version.

Please advise. Thanks.
