Identify a Window Channel Balance

Question

I want to replace the channel balances in a 20 year old single hung metal window (56"w x 70"h). The identifyig number on the metal is quite unclear. IUn the attached pic it shows what appears to be the numbers 29 3 , but there is a space and the 3 could be a nine or other? As well, close exam shows there were more numbers. The item is a 1/2 inch, and 30 inches long. The bottom shoe is a match for your picture, but the top piece is quite different from your site picture. Looking at the photo attached, you can see it has a quite long extension up from the top of the metal. Actually it extends exactly 5/8 inch up from metal. I need to replace two of these now to complete a remodel and I really appreciate your help to identify what model/type it is specifically, and also advise if you can supply it or not. I appreciate your kind assistance and look forward to your response at your first opportunity. Thank You!

Good morning, and thanks for posting. Looks like your top attachment is winged, while your bottom is not. Since this doesn't match any of our standard Series, your balance will have to be specially made.

Before I can work on that, though, I'll need to figure out what that bottom shoe is. Check out our 15-001 and 15-002 and tell me which is a closer match.
