I have to applaud you. Perhaps one in a hundred customers manage to provide the right information to identify a channel balance all at once. There's almost always something missing, but you nailed it.

Your balance is the S350-28 with a 2730 stamp. Your existing 27 4 (2740) might just be a little too strong, or maybe the sash isn't exactly 18. If you're confident in the measurement, and it's below 19 pounds, go with 2730. If it happens to be above 19, go with the stronger 2740.

Thanks Ben! I weighed the sash a few times and got 17.5 or 18lbs pretty consistently. Right now the springs are rusted and the windows are very hard to close. I'm assuming it's a combination of rust, old springs, and maybe too strong with the 2740 now.

Appreciate the feedback!
