Window balance

Question

I'm looking for a replacement balance for a dozen or so wood windows from the 1950s. Any ideas what part might work for this situation? There's a spring and then a coil but I'm not seeing anything similar on your website. Thanks !

You have a very, very old spiral type balance. We may have a solution for this, but before I recommend anything I'd like to see a photo of that bottom bracket removed from the jamb. You show it in your second photo. I'd also like a photo of one of the two bottom corners of the sash, if possible. Thank you!
