If you are talking about the barrel screw in the top photo all of the repo guys sell them or ebay . If you are talking about the square nuts in the lower sash , it might be easier to buy a used sash .

The window slides came off with no problem, and I have one solid window for a pattern. The cracked one came out in one piece as well. So I can get replacements.

Other than they are a bit rusty. I was thinking about an electrolysis bath for them.
The trim rings that go around the windows are in pretty good shape. Some paint cracking, but not bad. I was thinking of media blasting them and then powder coat. |
