Please assist me in finding the proper replacement parts for this balance. The channel appears to be integrated into the window frame.

Hello,

The old-style crossbow balance shown in your photos is no longer available but we should still be able to help. First, you'll need to confirm the diameter of your balance spring. If it measures 1/2", you can follow the conversion video below to replace both balances with the S795.

If it measures 3/8", we can still supply replacement balances but it would need to be a custom order. If so, we would need to know the exact length of an undamaged balance as shown in the video below, as well as the exact weight of the window sash and to confirm the type of clip or hook that is used at the end of the pulley cord. Lastly, we would need to know the number of balances that you need, with the minimum being two. Thank you.

The spring does measure 3/8". The length of one set of balances is 23" and that sash weighs 11.4 lbs. The length for for the balance for two other windows is 17" and those sashes weigh 10.2lbs. To clarify, I would need 6 balances in total.
If I understood the video correctly I will also need six of item 26-200 and six of item 15-195.

Thank you again for your assistance.
