Hello,

We'd be happy to look into this for you, but your balance top is a bit out of the ordinary. If you could show us additional angles of the bottom fitting, as well as the top sash guide that engages with this balance installed, we can go from there. Thank you!

Thanks for your message. Here attached are photos of the end parts of the balance rod. I am not abke to provide a picture of the top sash guide since I do not have it. I was thinking on buying yours and use it. Hope this helps
Thank Casey

Your exact end fittings are no longer available, but you should be able to use the S378-28 balances, which come with the 19-005 top and 15-029 shoe, as long as the 7/8" depth matches yours. The spring strength option would be 2740.

Dimensions for 15-029

The top sash guide could be the 18-052, but you'll need to compare the specifications below to confirm it matches the original guides.

The dimensions I have are very similar to the one you showed. I do believe they will work
I think i will need the take out clips as well

Great! We can't be sure of what you have without seeing the original take out clip, but we offer the 16-002. See the specifications below to determine if it matches your part.
