Hello,

Your balances appear to be the discontinued crossbow style balance. The good new is that these could potentially be converted to our Series 795 Channel Balances.

To confirm that these balances will be a situatable replacement, you'll need to obtain a few measurements from your existing balances. These include the length of an undamaged balance, the diameter of the balance channel/tube, which should be 1/2". (There is a chance it could measure 3/8". If so, this will need to be a custom assembly). You'll need to obtain the width of the bottom T-shaped attachment, as well. It will either be 1" or 1-1/4" across the bottom of the T shape.

Finally, you will need to obtain the exact weight of the window to select the correct stamp option.

Take a look at the video below for instructions on this balance conversion and the information you'll need to determine the correct balances. Let me know if you have any questions.
