Can you help identify replacement parts for the coil balance etc in the attached pictures?

Thank you

Your setup is a bit weird. It looks like you have a pivot shoe like our 15-048, but this is commonly used with spiral balances, not coil balances like yours. The housing looks like our 15-086, which means the coil spring itself might be our Series 180 balance, but we do not sell anything that can connect the housing and shoe together. You may need to reuse your old pivot shoe.

Thanks, Paul.
I more or less came to the same conclusion that you did. The pivot shoe on mine connects to the coil housing with a small slice of an aluminum extrusion. The housing and pivot are in relatively good shape so I ordered a pair of Series 180 (6lb) coil springs and will give that a try. I'll try and take clearer pictures of all the parts when I take it all apart to install the new springs.

Thanks for your help and a great source of supply for all this stuff! (and in NJ too!!!)
