I need a pair of replacement window channel balances--this will probably be a custom order
Here is the basic info:
Length: 28"
Width: 1/2"
Label: 27 4 HP Caldwell
Window type: Non-tilt
Only the bottom sash opens
Attached are pictures of its top and shoe; the shoe has wings.

Thank you for posting.
The photos were taken a bit close (particularly for the top guide), but it seems very close to the Series 390 Channel Balance. The "27 4" stamp translates to 2740. |

Thanks for your response Paul. Attached are additional photos. The Series 390 does not appear to have wings on the shoe, where as the ones I am seeking to replace do. Does that matter?

Does the top shoe have wings?
