13 5 EQ CALDWELL WINDOW BALANCE
It looks like the window balance I need to replace matches S385-14. However, the stamp on it does not match any of the listed option. The stamp on my window balance reads "13 5 EQ CALDWELL". Is this a special order balance? I would need two sets of them. May I get them from your company? ... (cont.)
