I'm looking for replacement channel block and tackle window balances (2), but I'm confounded if I need the 380 or 385 series. This is for a vinyl sash bathroom window where the cord has been shredded in the pulley mechanism. The metal channel is 13 inches, and the top guide and bottom shoe have wings. The only stamp reads "12 3 GW CMC 7". I can find no manufacturer information or markings. There is no stamp for the weight range (unless that's what the 7 indicates on the stamp), but the window weight is approx 7.5 lbs, so option 1220 should be correct. I'm unable to share photos of the balances installed, but have attached several photos from different angles of the removed balances. Additional photos available on request.
