Thanks for posting! Given the measurements for your spiral balances, you'll need the S900-23 Spiral Balance with a red tip. 

To determine the shoe compatible with your balances, you'll need to remove an undamaged shoe from the window channel to compare the dimensions.

Please let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.

One Single Hung window from 1978- metal frame, the only part number I could find is CODE 130-1 "HP" SERIES

Red, 23", 3/8" tube. Need 2 springs and the broken plastic parts also,
S900-23 Spiral Balance.

I attached photos of the mounting brackets from a working window that is the same, hope you can find them.
thanks!

My apologies, I did forget to include that part in the recommendation. We do not carry an exact match for the sash stop you are searching for but our 55-046 Acorn Sash Stop should work as a suitable replacement. To determine if this will work carefully compare the dimensions below.

In regard to the shoe, it looks like it could be our 15-015, however you will need to remove the shoe from the window to accurately compare the dimensions. Take a look at the diagram below to compare them. Also, there are a few videos, below this thread with instructions on how to remove your pivot shoes if you would like to use them for reference.

Thank you, it's fantastic to have your research for window parts from 1978 !
This saves me hundreds of dollars from the alternative of new windows.
Placing the order now, have a great weekend !!
