Pacesetter Balances

A quick learner from USA says:

I have a Pacesetter double hung window that the pivot bars and cams went out on. I've picked up that hardware from Swisco, but ran into a snag with one of the balances having its coil smashed up as I went to do the installation.

The only identifying marks on the balances is the letter "B" on the lower balance, and the letter "C" with an "L" underneath for the upper balance.

I don't have a scale at this time to measure the weight of the window.

Also, if you have a suggestion on how to get a pivot bar out from the window because it is broke off at the screw hole, I'm all ears.

You can use Series 152-3 for both the B and the C coil springs.

As for your trouble removing the pivot bar, I have some advice. Sometimes, if you turn the sash on its side, the pivot bar might fall out. Alternately, you can pull it out with a pair of needle nose pliers. If not, just slide the new pivot bar into the sash, and it will push the broken bar further into the sash. Sashes usually have a hollow space inside their frame, and it's fine to leave a broken pivot bar stuck in there, if need be.

Quick follow up:
I was able to determine that the window is roughly 19 lbs. Will that make any change in the recommendation for the 3 lb coils?

If you are using two springs on each side, you can use our S152-5 coil springs.
