Spiral balance with unique slotted tip

Believe it or not, we've seen this balance before. At the time we thought it was something custom made, but it seems as though there are at least two people on Earth who have it!

We can make it for you, but it will have to be custom made. Before we do anything, though, can you confirm for me the weight of your window sash? Thanks!

Thank you. You may want to get an exact weight before you purchase this balance, since these are delicate systems and you want the weight rating to be as precise as possible. If you don't have the right strength spring then the balance may not work right, and in a worst case scenario it could even damage your window.

Either way, based on the weight you gave me I think a Red Tip will work. Two of these balances with a Red Tip can carry a window sash weight of 7 through 21 pounds. If that sounds good to you, I'm going to email you a custom order link and price quote that you can use to place an order on our website. Please let us know if you have any questions! 

Not necessarily, you may just need to give the balance another turn or two. Take a look at this guide on how to add tension to a non-tilt spiral balance:
