Trying to replace some window balances. They are chanel balances for a non- title windlow and are 30 inch long and 5/8th wide. The stamp on the bottom front is "r 29-5". It is a block and tackle connector. The ends are winged.
Which window balance should I buy?
Window balance 30 inch stamp r 29-5 winged

Hi there!
Thank you for reaching out to us. We're happy to look into this. Can you show us an up-close photo of the top fitting? Can you also measure the bottom shoe as shown below and tell us the depth?

Your photos resemble the 18-042 top sash guide pair. Take a look at the specifications from our product page below.
