Hi! Can you please advise what part number I should order to replace this window shoe balance? The pic is uploaded.
I would like to order the shoe along with the coil attached.

Thank You

I believe we can help supply you with a new balance assembly, yes. Just note that we sell these components separately, not altogether as a unit.

Before I recommend anything, though, can you first tell me the thickness of the assembly? You can just measure the pivot shoe for reference, that should suffice. Can you also tell me what number is printed on the spring?

Thanks for the reply.

The thickness of the shoe is around 1/2".

I don't see any number on the coil.

I think I might be able to reuse the coil, it's the shoe itself that's disintegrated. But if I had to purchase the coil, would it be a 1/2" coil?

That's a huge help, thanks! Being 1/2" makes this project a whole lot easier.

So, your exact shoe is technically not made anymore, but our 15-177 is a modern alternative that works exactly the same way and is compatible with all the same hardware, top to bottom. You should be able to swap it out without noticing a difference.

As long as your old springs are in good condition then they can be reused without issue. If you did want to buy new ones, my suggestion would be the Series 152, but you're find reusing the originals for now.
