I'm trying to replace some Alcoa balances for Windows approximately 19 yrs old. The color tip on the balance I removed is yellow (it appears to be 9/16" Diam, 35" long). What replacement balance will work (I don't see yellow tip available)?

Thank you

One of our standard tip colors may work for you, but it would depend on your sash weight. I recommend weighing your sash on a scale and referring to the chart on the S600-35 store page to determine the best match.
