It looks like you have an old version of our Series 795 channel balance. You will need an all new Series 795 since the new style shoe wont work in the old style balance because the groove in the old balance will just get in the way. You also need to consider how the balance installs at the top. Some older balances installed using a hook, but ours uses a screw tab. If you have a hook instead of a screw tab we will need to custom make it for you.

No, you don't need to replace the whole window at all! You only need to replace the balance. The shoe is the plastic "T" part you show in your pictures, and the balance is the complete assembly, including the shoe and the metal channel. The hook I mention is at the very top of the balance, and it's what attaches it to the frame. That said, I don't know if yours is a hook or not. It could be a screw tab.
Did you look at our Series 795 balance yet? We have a ton of information on our site regarding this balance, including detailed pictures, that you can use as a reference. |

Nope, just the length of the metal channel. That's all you need to measure to determine which Series 795 is best for you. 26" is pretty normal and if that's how long the metal channel on yours is, then the S795-26 would be the way to go.
