I believe we can make this balance, though it will have to be a special order. It's a discontinued type that's no longer made. Please bear with us a little longer as we look into whether it's still possible for us to provide. One thing I can say for sure is that we won't be able to replace the metal clip in your first photo. You'll have to reuse that, so make sure to hang onto it. |

Okay, we have determined that we can make this. We can frankenstein our S751-29 with a 15-198 hook on the cord and a rivet on the other side so you can install that same metal clip shown in your first picture. This should work in the same capacity of your old balance. I want to stress that we cannot provide that metal clip, so you will need to reuse all your old ones. The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is what spring strength option to go with. Can you tell me the exact weight of your window sash? The stamps available for this balance are:
Finally, please tell me how many you need. Once I have this information, I'll email you a custom order link and price quote. |

Thanks again for waiting! We were able to work with this information, thank you. I'm still not sure how many you need, so I will send you two price quotes: one for 2 balances, which is our minimum, and one for 10 balances, which is our first price break. If you want to change that quantity, please let me know right here in this thread and I'll be happy to do so. |

Great! Well I sent a link to you for that quantity, so if you check your email you should see it. Please let me know if you ever need anything else! |

Yes, the 15-198 is for the top. As I mentioned in my prior two posts, we cannot supply the clip in your first picture. You have to reuse it. They just don't make it anymore. Don't worry about how the cord and springs are oriented in your balance. That doesn't matter. I've seen a million balances that all have different spring and cord orientations and it's never affected the balance's function. |

Yes, we will be customizing this balance to accept the same metal clip your old balance used. It will not have a knife lock shoe. We're only using the Series 751 as a base, we will be altering it in order to match your specifications. Because of this, I wouldn't focus on how the Series 751 functions. By the time we send it to you, it will not work like the Series 751 works at all. |
