Balance replacement
Thanks for writing in. Due to the configuration of your T-Lock Shoe, you will need to replace the entire balance. See our S795-30. Go over the dimensions and see if this matches what you need. You will need a stamp option of 30B.
Many thanks for your help.
Hey there, hopefully I can help.
The 15-195B has what's known as an "open cam." basically that just means the hole that takes the pivot bar goes straight through the shoe. If you were to hold it up to your eye, you could look through it. That doesn't appear to be the case for you, so you can ignore our 15-195B.
As for width, I don't think it will matter. I've never seen a balance like this in 7/16" so I'm tempted to just chalk it up to your metal channel just being a little dented or misformed. Sometimes these balances get a little beat up over the years from constant use.
Then again, it could be that yours was specifically made to be 7/16" wide by the manufacturer. I can't really predict how ours will perform if that's the case, since I've never worked with this style balance in that size. All I can tell you is that this is the only size we have. I really do think it will be okay, but in the worst case scenario you can see our return policy here.
