I'm looking for a replacement sash balance that is compatible with an older model Andersen window. Not sure on the age, but guessing mid-80's. Photos attached. Thank you!

Thanks for posting. See our 24-939. This is meant to replace Andersen balances with the stamp code '927'. Now, it looks like your balance box might like the side tab that our more modern Andersen balances feature. If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll need to chisel out space in the header to make room for the tab. See the diagram below.

Bob,
Thanks. Looking at 24-939 I think you're referring to the tab where the screw holes are located, correct? If so, the old balance has such a tab so I believe no chiseling will be needed. Am I correct?

Thanks for getting back to me. Ah, my apologies; you're right, there is a tab. So no chiseling to get the 24-939 will be needed. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for considering our business, we really do appreciate it.
