The pin is broken at the base. Please note that the bottom screw hole is at an angle.

We don't have a pivot pin exactly like this, but one of ours may still work as a substitute. Before I make a recommendation, can you show me the shoe into which this pivot inserts?

Sorry for the slow reply. Attached is a photo of the shoe on the right side of the window bc the left side is broken (as is the pivot pin that went into it).

If you can also recommend whatever is needed to repair the left side shoe I'd be grateful.

Thanks! That looks like our 15-014 knife lock shoe, used on the Series 751 balance. With that in mind, I recommend the 26-150 pivot pair. These are fully compatible with the 15-014 and should also work for your window.

As for whether you need a new shoe, I would say that you do since it looks like the rivet and knife lock itself are totally removed from the original.
