Hello,

I have several wood windows that need replacement parts. *The aluminum
tracks on the sides and the aluminum strip along the base and side to
stop air infiltration. They are about 40 years old.

I have asked around the home center and lumber supplier and everyone
tells me I need to know the manufacturer. *I've had the windows out of
the openings and tracks removed, and can't see a manufacturer's
mark. * I've performed web searches and find wood windows with ropes
and pullies, and newer 2x glaze, al clad or low maintenance plastic
window parts. *My windows seem to be in between these in technology.

Does anyone know where or how to find these parts?

TIA,

John

A picture would be worth a national debt worth of words.

That said, I used to have wood windows with aluminum tracks and spiral
balances, similar to those shown here, but much, much older. They were
in the house when I moved in close to 25 years ago, and they were old then.
