I need the S750 in 17" and 34" lengths but I see they are not available. I need (8) of the 16 regular strength and (8) of the 34 HD strength. Can I get these parts or is there a substitute?

Thanks for contacting us! We have received your email regarding these balances, too. From your email, you needed 8 balances with a 34ZHD stamp, 8 with a 28ZHD stamp, 8 with a 22Z stamp, and 8 with a 16Z stamp. There are a few issues we need to clear up before we can proceed.
First, the Series 750 is no longer made. We have a substitute, but it works a little differently. I just wanted to give you a heads up, we'll cross that bridge when we're closer to finalizing your information.
The second issue is the stamps you gave us. For the 22Z and 16Z stamps, there should be letters after the "Z." Can you confirm? If there are no letters that you can see, can you tell us the exact weight for each sash these balances support? That will help us calculate the proper string strength.

There are no more letters following the 22Z designation, but the pane weighs 18#.
Same with the 16Z stamp, and it weighs 16.5#.
The quantity on the 16Z has changed to 4.

Thanks again for waiting. So, for the 34ZHD and 28ZHD stamp, we recommend our S750-35 with a 34HD option and our S750-29 with a 28HD option. Those stamps should support the same weight as the old ones. These are standard balances and do not need to be custom made.
The 22Z and 16Z need to be specially made. I believe the modern equivalent for those stamps are the 22R and 16R. I will send you a special order link now for 8 of the 22R and 4 of the 16R. Let me know if you have any questions.
