Hello, I have a counterbalance loom that I am refurbushing.  I don't know IF or what brand it is (by IF I mean she might be "homemade".  At any rate, I will need to replace or add to the existing heddles.  My problem is this - I have measured from the outside edge of the bars the heddles rest on and get 10.25"  Do I need to look for a heddle that measures 10.25" or do I need a 10.50" heddle??

The loom pic in the siggy is an old barn loom, upper beater, that I got a couple of years back. I took this pic where it was before we got it. It's in pieces now, made it easier to get home. Quite heavy! How should I clean this up? I don't want to warp the wood. Thankyou and happy to be here!

I'd sure appreciate some advise on how to safely clean up an old loom. Thanks.

A siggy is the avatar. Lol..Sorry I'm used to another group and their terms. I changed my avatar so here's a pic of the loom when it was together. It wasn't totally assemled. They sold it to me before finishing. We took it all apart to get it here as it's huge and heavy. Was upstairs in an old mill.

Oh, why would anyone put carpeting on some of the sides like that? We've taken a peek and it's not damaged under it.
