We can definitely supply this balance, but it has to be a custom order due to its configuration.

Before we go any further, can you show me a clearer picture of the metal hook at the end of the cord? i can't quite make it out in your first picture. 

Can you also confirm the length? It should be 26-5/8", based on your stamp.

Finally, you said you had 3 windows, so that would be an order for 6 balances total, correct?

Correct 26 5/8 and yes on 3 windows, 6 balancers

Great, thanks so much for confirming. This is everything we need to get started, so I'll email you a purchase link and price quote right now for 6. I also just ran in back to count and we do have these in stock. 

Please let me know if you needed anything else!

Perhaps a dumb question, but could I simply replace just the spring in the balancer? I assume the spring is the point of failure as it losses tension over time?

If so, could I just order new springs v. the entire balancer?

We do not recommend attempting to replace the spring, no. These are not sold by any company I know of, likely due to the difficulty of actually replacing. These are very delicate systems under constant pressure, so trying to swap out the spring would ruin its tension. Not to mention that you're dealing with a piece of steel under 30 pounds of pressure that suddenly has nowhere to go. You could risk serious injury.

In all cases, you must replace the balance itself. Trying to swap out the springs just isn't worth it.
