I need to replace the spiral balance springs in some old windows. They are 25" long. Picture 1 attaches to the frame and picture 3 attaches to the window. If you don't carry the exact spring, can I use a more "modern" one as long as I replace both?

I have no idea what kind these are and would appreciate ant help in identifying them so I can try and adjust the tension to see if that solves our problem ... (cont.)

Hi. I need to replace balances in a house full of windows, but they are old enough (house built in 1965) so that exact replacements are probably not available. Attached are three pics. I may need the clips, too, and perhaps a twister to charge them once installed. I'm a little worried about the scre ... (cont.)
