For the first, the four shoes seem to be broken, the spiral balances have disconnected from the broken shoes. The metal parts in the shoes are broken.
The balances are 5/8".with red tips. The top measures 29" and the bottom spiral balance measures 33" I've removed the lower window, one spiral balance and a shoe so far to get a good look. This tilting window measures 23.5"w x 34 Tall.
For the 2nd, again the spiral rods have disconnected from the shoes, which appear broken,Measurements are 5/8" and31" long, also red. Only the top tilting window needs fixing. This tilting window measures 30" w x 34" tall.
Anything I'm missing?

Good afternoon! Thanks for posting. Based on your dimensions, it sounds like you have a Series 600 spiral balance. Please take a look and let me know if that looks about right.
However, just to be sure, I would like you to confirm the lengths of each balance. Please keep in mind that you must only measure the tube when determining the length; do not include the plastic tip and spiral protrusion in your measurements.
As for your broken pivot shoes, I'm not sure what you may have. Could you upload a few pictures of them for me to look at? Please make sure they are removed from the window before you do. I will also need to know their dimensions.

Hi Tom,
Yes, I have measured the spiral balances as you have specified. So I have 2 of each at...29", 31" and 33" for a total of six balances.
I've sent some photos of a pivot shoe and a 33" spiral balance end.
I think we're making good progress here!

Thanks for getting back to us, David! It looks like your shoe is 1-1/4" wide, and 1/2" thick. Can you confirm that? If so, I think our 15-046 could be a match. What do you think? You might also want to compare your cam hole measurements, as well, since yours seems a bit large. Here they are for the 15-046.
