Replacement Balances Needed

Home Owner from Palmdale, CA
Forgot that I needed the overall channels too. Will need at least 12 of these too, for 6 windows. The channel is stamped with 2630 and B.S.I. 27" overall length and is a 1/2" wide channel (actual width closer to 9/16").

We can replace this entire balance, fittings and all attached, but it has to be custom made due to its unique design. Can you show me a side profile view of the bottom shoe, as well as the clip at the end of the cord that comes out of the bottom nylon shoe? The clip might resemble our 62-106 or 62-108, for instance. From there, I'll draft a quote for you. Many thanks.

See if these new pics help.

I realized that some of the channels I have in my windows are stamped with 2620 B.S.I. and some are stamped with 2630 B.S.I. All the windows seem to be the same and I don't know the difference between the 2620 and 2630, maybe you do. Maybe it doesn't matter, but wanted to mention that. They look identical to me.

Your other response about the upper sash P/N: 18-171 Stepped Sash Guide, Alpine LOOKS RIGHT!

Sounds good, definitely send a quote!

Can you tell me how many of the balances stamped 2620 and how many of the balances stamped 2630 you need? From there I'll send you the quotes for the balances ASAP. Many thanks!

Sorry for the delay, had to find time to open them all up!

2 qty: 2030 B.S.I. (x2 total = 4)
3 qty: 2620 B.S.I. (x2 total = 6)
1 qty: 2630 B.S.I. (x2 total = 2)

Weird that one is 2630 because the windows with 2620 are identical. The windows with 2030 balances are indeed different dimensions and so I'm glad you triggered me to look closer at ALL of them.

All the uppers and lower shoes are the same on all the balances.

Btw, I will need at least 1 take-out clip replacement too, I found one bent.

I just sent you an email with 3 custom links enclosed, to order (4) of the balances stamped 2030, (6) of the balances stamped 2620, and (2) of the balances stamped 2630. Look everything over before proceeding. Note that we are working under the assumption that these balances match the ones in your original photos; please let us know before ordering if that is not the case. 

For take-out clips, see if our 16-002 matches up.

Thanks for your help with this. I placed the order, it came in a few days, and I've installed all the parts now. They work great and they were the right parts. All looked good. Windows now all functional!
