lot's of sash can be repaired by a good glazier...... even sash with insulated glass
Generally, if the sash is the type that flips out for cleaning, it will come out. Specific mechanisms vary considerably.
Caradco's are one of the easiest to fix. You need to know the thickness of the double pane, it depends on the age. I have a caradco dealer in town and can order the new galss directly from them, maybe you can too.
There should be a screw in each corner of the sash, remove the 4 screws take the sash apart remove the double pane and put the new one in. sometimes a new gasket is needed also, again depends on the age
