I have to replace several channel balances. The stamp on the metal is 28-4 KM5 CMC 8.
I'm not sure which channel to order. Does it indicate a 2840 with a sash weight range of 23 to 28 lbs.

Awaiting your reply so I can order replacement channels.

Thanks
Lou

Thank you so much for reaching out! Unfortunately, I am unable to identify this channel via the stamp and need photos of the entire balance. Please view the video attached as it shows exactly what we need to see in order to properly identify the channel.

Thanks for getting back to me. This appears to be either a S380-29 or S385-29. The only difference between these two balances is the depth of the bottom nylon shoe, or heel-to-toe measurement, so compare both with your old hardware to see what matches best. For a new stamp option choose 2840.
