Looking for the right foot
I have 2 windows that need all 4 balances replaced. I know they are 29" by 3/8" red balances. But I can't tell what kind of foot they need. Can you tell from these photos? They are aluminum non-tilt windows, likely made in the 70s.

Balance Rod Shoe
We have Better Bilt Windows from 1998 with 29 inch 3/8 Balance Rods with a black end but the shoe is missing. Can you tell us what shoe we need without taking the other side apart? It is obsolete windows probably can't get the original part anyway.
