One of the balances broke on a window
The cord broke on the balance on the right-side of my window (looking at it from the inside fo the house). As shown in one of the photos, it says 25 4 LJ Caldwell but because the house was built in 1978, I don't know if it is still available.

Did I purchase the wrong sash?
Hello! After a lot of research I purchased two new window sashes, 26" Series 385 Channel Balances, but I suspect I was wrong. The 26" part is correct but I think the spring is too strong. My sash only weighs 18.2 lbs. Attached are photos of the old sash. Can you help me ensure I have what I need? ... (cont.)
