Unknown diameter spiral spring
Hi. This is a photo of a spiral spring for a tilting double hung window. It is 21" long. It seems like the diameter is 1/2". The bottom piece looks blue but is more of a teal green. Might you have a part that could work?

My Thermalguard windows are 28 years old and just about all of them will no longer stay up (mostly bottom sashes).
