The enclosed picture shows what may be a Capitol Window. The builder of the house referred to Capitol and I researched and found MI Windows and Doors make a coil balance that appears to be identical to the one in my picture. You show parts that look correct, but the balance shoe has a plastic lock mechanism instead of a metal one. I found a #740 on the spring for the one I need to replace and the size of your 15-181 and 15-180 look about right. Will the plastic part work in my application.

Yes, the nylon fittings should work. Let me know if you need any further help.

Does the #740 on the series 190 spring equate to a certain weight in pounds? If so what are the number of pounds for the 440, 540, 640, 740, and 832?
Thanks,
Bill

Thanks for posting, Bill.

For the Series 190, the numbers indicate different strength coils, rather than being equal to a specific weight. These numbers can be found on your original coils.
