I'm glad those suggestions could work out for you.
Now, let's concentrate on the balance. The first thing you should know is that of a pair of this type of balance, one of them will not have a shoe. That is the way it is designed. Take a look through this thread concerning hinged window balances for more information. As you can see, these balances will have to be custom made for you. Before we begin, I'll have to know a bit more information. First, can you confirm that the length of the metal channel is 20"? Also, is the 1940 the same stamp for both channels? Usually balances with these attachments have a different stamp for each balance in the window. Please double check and let me know! |

The guide might not be missing. These balance systems are asymmetrical, you see, so both sides are different. For example, the other side may have a shoe at the end of the balance and may even have a different stamp. You should double check and let me know what both stamps read, as well as give me an idea as to what attachments you have on both balances. If you take a picture of both ends of each channel balance so we can see for sure what's missing and what's supposed to be missing.

Is there perhaps another window in your house that would have identical balances? I'm afraid that I do not know what stamp your other balance would have. That seems to be the last piece of information we need, though.
