Spiral Balance

A handy person from Ft. Myers Beach says:
Rod length = 26 in. Rod dia. = 3/8 in. Sash weight = 5.6 lb. There were hints of red plastic residue on the top of the slide mixed in with the dust. Please confirm proper spiral balance required. Will also be looking for tool.

Thanks, Paul

Before we can offer any recommendations to you, we need to see some photos of the balance.

We appreciate your photo. Based on this photo, I believe you may be looking for our S900-26 spiral balance with a red tip. The charging tool that goes along with this balance is our 75-006. If you should need to replace the pivot shoe as well, our 15-134 would make a great choice.
