Hello there!

Thank you for reaching out to us. We can help supply this balance but it will have to be a custom order due to its configuration. The pulley wheel is built into the bottom fitting itself and this balance features an extended cord travel as well as a metal channel length ending in 5/8" which is what makes it custom. For example, the metal channel should measure 25-5/8" long. Custom orders are nonrefundable so you may want to double-check to be safe.

Can you show me a photo of the bottom fitting from a side angle? I can draft a price quote once I have that.

Yes, on remeasuring the channel length is 25 5/8 inches.

Just a thought, would it be best to just send in the nonbroken balancer if there is difficulty in matching with the data I have submitted?

Also, would a stock item suffice even if it is not exact match? As long as the window closes and opens most of the way I do not care.

If you need any more information please let me know.

Thanks for your help with this.

Thanks for getting back to me! I have all the details that I need so there's no need to send your hardware in.

I'm afraid a stock balance can't replace this type of balance. The issue when trying to use a stock balance to replace this is that if you were to use a 25" version, both the metal channel and cord would be too short and the sash wouldn't be able to close. Meanwhile, a 26" would be too long, and you'd run into the same issue.

What I'll do now is email you a purchase link and price quote for (2) balances that you can use to place an order on our website.
