Originally for Windows manufactured by Northwest aluminum products. The balancers are stamped BSI on both. One is numbered 1820. The other is numbered 11220. They are identical other than the length

Hello there!
For the balance stamped "1820", you could have either an S380-19 or S385-19 channel balance. You’ll need to measure as shown below. The Series 380 has a 1" bottom attachment, and the Series 385 has a 1-3/32" attachment. You'll also need a spring strength option of 1820 for this replacement balance.
As for the balance stamped "1220", can you show us some pictures of the bottom shoe from a different angle? I just need to confirm if it has "wings" or not.
Thank you!

Comparison of the S378, S380 and S385 balance shoes.

These were taken off the ends of the small balance.

It's difficult to say from these pictures. Do both of these fittings have 'wings' like the other balance stamped "1820"?
