Windows are from late 70's, this one is 44" W each sash approx. 28" high need springs and clips for both sides. spring approx. 21" long Photos included. I have spring clipped to the top of plastic channel although not sure if this is how it was originally. Do you have something like this?

Hey there! Thanks for contacting us. Our 20-006 appears to match your clips; however, we cannot replace the springs themselves. You will need to contact a local mill work for that. Let us know how you make out.

Yes it looks like should work, The springs are not the greatest but they are not broken may try to re-use the springs. They were loose in channel but one spring appeared to have been attached to something in the frame at top I can't see what it is attached to. I attached a couple of the springs to the top of the plastic channel and that seems to work. Do you have any info on how the springs attach at the top? I will be ordering the clutch set, is there anything else I need?

I'm afraid I don't know how these springs are attached at the top. They are very, very old. The 20-006 clutch set is currently the only thing we have for this kind of balance system.
