Hello. I am referencing your companies YouTube video posted 6 years ago. How to convert a crossbow balance to a channel balance. Is the balance shown in the photos a crossbow series 850? Is it still advised to covert to a series 795 channel balance?
The original window lower sash is a tilt widow. Weight is 14.6 lbs. Current balance has a plastic "p" shaped hook at top. "T" shoe at bottom is 1 1/4". Length of original balance from bottom of "T" to plastic end (not including "P" shaped hook is 24 1/2 ".
I believe I need the following parts: S795-24 Option 24B, 26-200 screw plug, 33-016 screw and 26-366 pivot. Can you please advise if I am correct in research?
Thanks.

Thanks for posting, and good work here. Based on all the information provided, I think you're exactly right: you need the S795-24, stamped 24B, along with the 26-200 Screw Plug. Keep in mind, as mentioned in the video, that you may need to file the pin of the 26-366 for it to fit the T-Lock Shoe snugly. Let me know if you have any other questions!
