I need to replace broken Block and Tackle Window Balances. Do not know who is the window manufacturer. It is a non-tilt window and side load. Measurement is 15" and a 9/16" channel.

The window has a label w Mfg Code YOM-1 Series 9500. Window H-R50 53x74

The marking on the broken one is 14DS (BSI) GL and a 23. Please advise ASAP. Thank you

Thanks for all the information! Unfortunately, we can't identify the Series of balance you need unless we see photos of both ends of the balance. If you respond with photos, I can try to identify it for you.

Thank you! I think you could have either our Series 390 or Series 351 channel balance, depending on the depth of the bottom shoe. That is the only difference between them.

How do I measure to correctly determine the depth of the shoe? I'm a very visual person, so
Maybe you can send me a pic or illustration? Thank you

You would measure the depth, which is the heel-to-toe measurement. We have detailed pictures and dimensions on our site. I will also post them here for you to consider.
