Shoe replacement

A home owner from Cleveland, OH says:

Hi,

The metal insert at the shoe where the window pivot pin sits is broken. I did not find any markings on the piece. The tip on the balance was red in color.

The window in question is the upper sash of a tilt-in double hung window.

I appreciate any guidance.

Thank you,

Bill

Many thanks for writing in, Bill. The pivot shoe looks like our 15-188. For the Red Tip Spiral Balance, see the Series 600. Measure the length of the outer tube, up to but not included the colored tip, to determine the proper length. See the 75-006 for an attachment tool. Let us know if you have further questions.

Thank you for your help!
On your recommendation, I ordered the part and received it this past Friday. A perfect fit.
Installation was a breeze after watching Swisco's videos.

Just wanted to say thank you for the exceptional customer service,

Bill
