Replacement Spring

I have some really old wooden windows, a few won't stay open due to broken springs. Looking for a close match replacement for the spring only. The spring measures about 11" long, approx 1/2" thick. The track itself seems to be about 26" long, it runs about 25" before hitting the top of the window and disappearing into the window. I can't locate a make or model on these windows, their about 30 years old. Like to try and replace the springs first before going into bigger repair options. Appreciate the help!

Thanks for reaching out to us! The balance spring you have here cannot be repaired on the balance given the amount of tension they hold. That being said, to identify the replacement hardware you'll need to repair the window, I will need to see a photo of the entire assembly, removed from the window.
I'll need to see any attachments on the top and bottom of the balance as well as any that could be left being in the window channel.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have in the meantime.
