Default wood window, alum track

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


One place you could try looking is:http://www.swisco.com. *Their website
has lots of pictures to choose from to help decide what you need and what
may work. *They are located in Camden, NJ but do most of their window and
door parts via the Internet, I think.


This site has a discussion forum and they promise a human will read
it! My best lead so far,

Thanks,

John
