Replacement window balancer?

[kroppe]

I have single pane double hung windows, they are original from when the house was built in 1950. The balancers are steel coil springs about 18-24 inches long, roughly 3/8" outside diamter, and are accessible without tearing the window jamb apart.

Throughout the house, I have a few of these springs that are broken, would like to replace them so the sashes stay open. As far as I can tell, the windows are "Curtis" brand. Couldn't find anything by searching on the internet. Can anyone please recommend a source where I can order the replacement balancer springs? Thanks.

If these guys don't have it or can't get it, it doesn't exist. ;)

They're here in Detroit but I'm sure you could get in touch with someone there and have parts shipped. Or maybe you could pick them up when you're in the area.

Good luck
