Replacement Pivot Shoes and Balance

I am looking for replacement pivot shoes and balances for some older vinyl tilt in replacement windows. I have attached some pictures of the items. After looking thru your website I am thinking 23 Series 770 Balance may be the correct balance. The spring is on the top and the cord mechanism is on the bottom. I am not sure about the strength based on the stamp I gave you I am thinking Stamp option 23A? Also Have some broken pivot shoes. I was thinking your item 15-129? The pivot bar is a T shape. Can you let me know if you agree with the parts I listed or if you think I need a different balance or pivot shoe. Do you recommend one of your tools when inserting the new bars etc.?
Thank You

Thanks for posting. Your pivot shoe looks a lot like our 15-210. Take a look at the measurements below to compare them to your original hardware. You will need to remove the shoes from the window to do so.

The T-shaped pivot bar compatible with this shoe is part 26-272.

In regard to the balances, the Series 770 may work but I cannot make any guarantees based on the photos provided. I'll need to see an undamaged balance to make an accurate recommendation.

Thank you for the photos. Our S770-23 should be the correct replacement balance for you. You will need to select the 23A stamp. Although you may want to confirm that the length of your metal channel is 23".
