I want to replace balances in 4 of out bedroom windows. I have tried to measure the balance and I believe it is a 5/8 diameter balance. The length of balance is 28". The tip is definitely orange. I was also going to purchase the charger and the shoe on all the windows which I have attached two pictures of. Any additional help would be greatly appreciated and any additional parts you feel would be necessary.

Hello there. Going off your description, it sounds like you have the S600-28 Spiral Balance. Most likely the 'orange' tip is just a red tip that's faded with age. A red-tipped spiral balance of this design is meant to support a window sash in the weight range of 7 through 29 pounds. You can always weigh your window sash to ensure it falls in this range if you want to be safe. Finally, for the charger, see our 75-006. Let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you for your reply. Could you tell me which shoe(?) I should order as well. I hope I am calling it by it's correct name.
I appreciate your help.

This part is called a shoe, yes. Unfortunately I can't verify what you need based on these photos. The S600-28 balance is compatible with many different options, so the only way to narrow them down is to measure the width and thickness of the original. That will require removing it ahead of time.
In the meantime, you can see our full selection here.
