I have successfully repaired several Malta tilt in windows in my house simply by replacing the broken plastic Malta pivot shoes. There are a couple of windows which need a different approach since it appears that the counterweights or spring weights or whatever is supposed to tension the sash cords are broken. I've attached three pictures of the window:
1) top of the window/track with no apparent access points,
2) bottom of the window/track, again with no apparent access to the springs, and
3) middle of the track showing the exposed sash cord (note that there are no obvious track springs, just bare cords)
How do I get to the weights so that I can identify the problem and needed replacement parts? Thanks for any suggestions.
