Some have been deteriorating, are broken, and need replacement.

Hello, thank you for posting,
Your window uses an older crossbow balance that is no longer made. As long as the original spring is a 1/2" diameter, we recommend converting to the Series 795 channel balance. Please review the step by step video below that details the conversion and additional parts needed.
Please review and let us know if you have any additional questions.
