Hello there!

Thanks for reaching out to us. We're happy to help with this. Can you show us a close up photo of the top fitting? I'm afraid the tape measure obscures too much of it in the photos you've uploaded.

Thank you kindly! This looks like our S380-18 or S385-18 channel balance depending on the depth of the bottom shoe. If it's 1" deep, you'd want the S380-18

Your 1790 stamp is from an old rating system we no longer use, however. You would need to weigh the window sash on a scale and refer to the chart under the product description on the S380-18 store page to determine the proper stamp option for your replacements.

We ended up here because we did all the things the website said and this balance doesn't even weigh a pound so we couldn't figure it out.

Thank you

You'll want to weigh the window sash, not the balance. The window sash is the glass panel that moves up and down.
