Thanks for posting! This is a unique type of balance. Essentially, you will need two balances for your window, but like you said, one of them will not include a bottom shoe. This is intentional. We do not have an existing Series for these balances, so they will have to be custom made for you.
The first balance, with the stamp 2230, will have a bottom shoe. You can order it by referring to this Custom Balance Order Form for the 2230 that I have started for you and filling out the rest of the information. The second balance, with the stamp 2240, will not have a bottom shoe. Please refer to this Custom Balance Order Form for the 2240. After you have finished filling out these forms, one of our representatives will be in contact with you shortly with a price quote and an item to add to your cart, which you can then purchase as a normal item in our catalog. For the hinge itself, check out our 15-058 and see how well this matches. |

To be honest, I haven't repaired one of these windows in nearly 20 years back when they were still used in windows. It's been a while, but I think the process is the same as a typical channel balance, with a few differences.
First, you will have to pull out the stop, then raise the sash past the balances until it's disengaged. The balances will engage with the take-out clips. The sash should then be able to swing open. At that point, it should be a simple matter of popping the balances out. |
