Hello! These old balances of yours haven't been made in a very long time. The good news is that you can use our Series 500 in addition to our 17-012 bracket (sold separately) as an alternative assembly. We've been using these to repair wood windows like yours for decades and we find that they work very well. Look these parts over and let me know if you had any questions.
