You have old rod-type balances, which aren't made anymore. The good news is that we have modern balances that work just as well. Before I recommend one of those, though, I need to figure out which rod balance you have. There were, at the time, 3 varieties. Do you have an undamaged version that we can see? I specifically need to see the shoe at the bottom. Once I see that, I am very confident that we can get you a balance that will work perfectly well in your window. |

Yes, I think I can work with this. The pivot shoe is commonly used with balances that have a 15-043 terminal clip at the end of the cord. You should check the clip at the end of yours to confirm that it's the same. If it is, then you can use our Series 770 channel balance as a replacement. You will need an undamaged version of your balance to measure to determine length. That won't be possible with a broken part. You will also need to weigh your sash on a scale to confirm the best Series 770 stamp option, which indicates spring calibration. Let me know if you had any questions regarding these points. |

Unfortunately, there is not a smaller version of the Series 770. This is, to our knowledge, the only balance that exists that can replace your old one. If this won't work for your window, we have nothing else that will. You would have to see if you can find a store near you that still sells the old style, though these have been discontinued for a long time so I'm not sure if that's going to be easy. I apologize for the inconvenience. |
