There is, our 15-194, but I'm afraid this will not work in your balance. Take a close look at the stem of your old shoe. That groove renders our shoes inoperable in your old balance. This is how the manufacturer used to make them, but years ago they decided to change up the design. Now none of their balances have that same groove. I'm afraid your only option would be to replace the balance entirely with our Series 795 channel balance.
Keep in mind that this comes with the 15-195 by default, however you can pop those off and pop on our 15-194, which are sold separately. |

Hello! I agree, this is the same problem as described in the original post. I am confident that our Series 795 will replace your balance. There are just two details to note. First, your shoe appears to be "open" while our Series 795 comes with a shoe that is "closed." As such, you'll have to purchase our open 15-195B shoe separately. They just pop on and off so once you get them it should be an easy swap. Secondly, our Series 795 installs at the top using a screw tab. If yours uses a hook, it may have to be a custom order. If that's what you have, I'd like to see a photo of the hole where the hook installs. That will allow us to determine the best solution for you. |

Thank you! Looks like this balance won't have to be a custom order after all. I would recommend purchasing the Series 795 in the sizes you need and the 15-195B shoe separately. That will cost less than a custom order and the 15-195B shoes pop on very easily. As for removing the top screw, there isn't any trick to it or anything. You just unscrew it. If it's a little tight, I can't recommend anything other than elbow grease. |
