Labeled 32-7, measures 33" long. Do you guys know what weight range might be? I cant remove the window (I am helping a neighbor fix their window).

Hi there- thanks for posting!

The stamp that is located on the side of your balance indicates the length and spring strength and will translate to one of the "options" that you need to select before you checkout. But first, you'll need to determine the correct series before you can determine which option to choose. Could we see some photos of the balance removed from the window? Specifically, of the end attachments. These are what determines the series of the balance.

Thanks for the response! I know it the Series 795 because the T-lock balance shoe (and I've replaced a few shoes already). Still not positiveness on which weight to get, I am leaning toward the 33E.

Ah, I see. A 32-7 stamp is peculiar for the Series 795 but it's not unheard of. I would really like to know the exact weight of the sash so that we can confirm. I think this might need to be specially made, so it's important we know exactly what you need.
