Channel Balance Replacement, Marvin Window
Is it possible to "flex" guide open to remove and replace a 751 series channel balance? If so, I would rather not remove and replace wooden trim and not risk damaging it (I have 5 windows to fix). Thanks, Steve

Casement surface mount operator
Hi I am looking for a casement surface mount operator with a small disk that attaches to the window rail. It looks like its metal. The ones locally have a large nylon disk. I can not find any name on the windows anywhere.
