Help to identify a replacement spring balance?
I have a house built in the '60's with inexpensive aluminum single hung, non-pivoting windows. Most will not stay open due to broken spring balances. Can you guys identify a replacement balance for the one in the example photo? It's 3/8" diameter, 28-1/2" tube length.

Use window balances for a cabinet panel
I am a cabinet designer/maker and I need some way to retain a sliding raised panel to cover a flat screen TV when not in use in an entertainment cabinet. I think that would like to use a window channel balancer that will be easy to slide but have enough tension to keep the panel in any position. Ple ... (cont.)
