window balance indetification

Quick Learner from 70131
I hope these photos are clear enough. What type of balances are these? I know the length will vary depending on the height of the window and sash. Any input would be helpful thanks

Hello there!

Thank you for reaching out to us. This looks like a non-tilt spiral balance. These are fairly old-fashioned so getting a replacement can be difficult. Could you show us a photo of the bottom end of your balance, where it connects to the sash? Seeing an undamaged balance assembly removed from the window would be ideal. That would give us a better idea of what you have.

It seems the bottom is Broken. I'm not sure if the bottom connection. There is a spring inside as you described.

Thanks for getting back to us. Unfortunately, if the bottom connection is broken then we won't be able to offer a reliable recommendation. At this stage that is the most important detail. I would triple check this window (or an identical window in the house) that may still have it.
