The above is the writing that appears on the side of my broken ballast.

Hello,

With this combination of attachments, you could have either an S380-30 or S385-30 channel balance. You’ll need to measure as shown below. The Series 380 has a 1" bottom attachment, and the Series 385 has a 1-3/32" attachment. You'll also need 2950 spring strength options for your replacement balances.

Thank you and let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hi. Thanks for sending me the replacement ballasts/weights. They fit fine. However, it appears as though I need also need new to top pieces similar to the one in the below photo. They measure 7/16 " at the bottom. Do you have this item (I hope)? Assuming that you have them, I need four.
Thanks for all of your help.
Bob

The part in your photo is called a top ssh guide, which resembles the 18-178 . Take a look and see how the dimensions compare to yours.
