Tilt Aluminum Windows 5/8 Spiral Balance Pivot Shoes

A handy person from St Louis says:
I guess these windows are from late 70's or 80's. Double hung tilt. No names or numbers on windows. Balances are 19" long look a faded red. The upper windows have 17" balances. I couldn't find these pivot shoes. Only the top portion appears to be broken. The open part seems to be made that way I thought it might be broke off but looks like the other one. I couldn't find any other pieces at moment. I can send some pics or locks and tilt releases and latches if that helps.

Your pivot shoe isn't made anymore, unfortunately, but I'm very confident that we have something that will work for you. Before I recommend anything, can you confirm the precise thickness of your old shoe? You may find it easier to measure an undamaged version, if you have one. That way you can be sure that the measurement is accurate.

I did some studying this weekend of old posts and decided to get the 15-015 pivot shoe. I ordered series 600 19" and 17" spiral balancers with red tip. They kinda look between orange and red. I guess they are a faded red since orange was not a choice. I place an order last night. I found a PAT # on shoe and the 15-015 seemed close enough.
