Thanks for your photos. Based on what I see here, you have either our S380-29 or S385-29, depending on the depth of the bottom shoe. That's the only difference between them. I recommend measuring your shoe and referring to our dimensions to confirm the best match.

In that case, I think our S380-29 is a safe bet. Your shoe depth was likely 1" originally and wore down over time from use.

In learning about my windows, I've found another problem. The window stop that holds the balance in place in broken on each side. Do you also carry these replacement pieces?

Sure! This part is called a top sash guide and we sell a huge variety. I feel confident that we have a match for this, but I'll need a clearer look at it.

Would it be possible to see this removed from the window? We specifically need to see it from the front and side. Think of it like a mug shot.

In the meantime, you can see our full selection here.
