Hi Charles,

You balance looks like our S770 channel balance. The stamp number you've provided indicates that your balances are probably 11" long. If that's the case, they'll need to be custom made since the smallest balances that we carry as stock items are 12". We'll just need you to confirm the length of your metal channel and the number of balances you need. 

Your pivot shoe looks like our 15-167 but we'll need to see a picture of the pivot bar removed from the window as well to recommend a replacement for you. Thank you!
