ordered 28" 710 balance 2740(item # S710-28) and Acorn 5/8" top sash guide(item # 18-041). Replace old window balance with different top sash guide. Does it work?

Thank you for posting. This doesn't look like our Series 710. Looks like a regular side-load channel balance. I believe the balance you need is our S395-28 with the 2740 option. Take a look and make sure your nylon attachments match up to the attachments on the S395-28.
I do agree that our 18-041 looks similar, but it's hard to tell based on your image. It looks like yours is damaged, so I can't see the whole thing.

Just for clarification. pictures shown are not series 710. It is old channel balance from the window to be fixed. The sash guide was the old broken one. The question is that can 710 series window balance replace this kind.

No, I don't recommend using a different Series than what was installed originally. If these balances were installed in your window there was probably a reason for it.
