balance rod help needed

Quick Learner
Hi 
This is out of a 1990-ish Harvey window.  Length is 24" ,  1/2" square body.
Let me know if you have anything that might work?

Hey there!

Thanks for reaching out to us. It looks like your balance is a match for the S770-24, but it uses a hook like the 62-105 instead of a terminal clip. We can still help, but this must be a custom order. Can you confirm the weight of the window sash? How does the balance install to the top of the window? Additionally, how many balances are you looking to replace?

I need 2.

Thank you! We just need you to confirm the weight of the window sash, as well as how the balances mount to the top of the window track, to get the ball rolling.

I'm back!  The window is 12-ish lbs.  The balance sits on top of a small metal L-bracket in the channel.

Thank you kindly! Our Series 770 is meant to screw in at the top of the window track, so I'm not sure what metal bracket your balance uses. May we see a photo of the bracket removed from the window?

Perfect, thank you! While our balance is designed to use a screw, you can just install it the same way as your old balance. 

With that said, I'm going to email you a purchase link for (2) S770-24 balances with the 62-105 hooks attached and the 24B stamp. A pair of balances with this stamp will support a sash weighing 11 to 17 pounds, so your sash weight must fall within this range. 

Note that the 15-056 retainer and 15-105 pivot shoe are sold separately. 

Please let us know if you have any questions!

I recieved the parts today.  They all fit perfectly and my window is fully functional again!  Can you please send me a quote for 6 more  custom balances with hook S770-24 + 62-105.  I have another couple windows to fix up.
Thx!

Certainly! I'll email you a new quote for the same balances you ordered previously.
