balance inquiry

Quick Learner

I have an odd balance. Kind of like a channel balance without the actual channel. 

Got a spring, string, and then like a 3/16 plastic rod kind ofIt's not a sprial balance at all. It's almost like a channel balance but doesn't have the channel. Bunch of windows in an apartment like these

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out! The balance you have here is a discontinued assembly. There is a good chance we can provide you with a replacement for it but I'll need to see an undamaged balance to identify the correct replacement. 

You'll need to have an undamaged balance to confirm an accurate balance length and I'll need to see photos of the top and bottom attachments on the balance. Please also confirm the exact weight of the sash.

Here is the "shoe" I got.. they literally don't have a full in tact balance. I'm hoping we can use a channel of some sort with a 1" wide t lock shoe. The balance i have is about 28 1/2" long. The one in the first initial pic i ever sent.

Thanks for confirming. Since you do not have an undamaged balance, I'll need to know the measurement for the height of the visible glass pane in the window sash; only the glass you can see. Be sure to confirm the depth of the shoe.

You'll also need to confirm the exact weight of the sash. This will be important for determine the weight ranged the stamp on the replacements will need to support.

Please feel free to reach out with any other questions you might have.
