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

There was and still may be retro-fit kits that will work with any window.

All the stores want to sell you is replacement windows. *By the time you
price it all out that may still be the cheapest. *

Start with Blaine windows parts, *and there is another company whose name I
can not recall at the moment. *Will find the catalog and provide the name if
you reply to this post.

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. DerbyDAd03 above has the same
windows.

I'll probably have to replace them, but I love the look of all wood,
single pane windows. And, of course, they have all been stained to
match the trim.

I guess ultimately, I could create some wooden tracks, don't know how
to handle the balancing, but could keep the sashes.

Thnx to everyone.

John
