Custom balancer order
Hey, I spoke with a guy earlier today and he said to send a pic of what I needed. These are the standard size thickness but will need to be 40lbs due to the window being high impact. It is single hung. I will need 3 pairs ( 6 balancers )

I think the closest thing to it is the 17-012 bracket. Original balances are 70 to 80 years old. Glad I could find a supplier because there a ... (cont.)
