Purchased 4 S372-29 Channel Balances. The bottom shoe is incorrect. I submitted a request for an exchange on April 26, 2014. I think that I need an S370-29. Please look at the attached photos from my old Channel balance and confirm.

Thank you.

Hey, Thomas, good to see you again. Yes, the Series 370 is definitely a closer match. Just make sure that the dimensions of your shoe closely match the 15-002. The type of nylon attachments your balance takes is very important. You want to make sure the replacement is as close as possible to the original, if not identical.

I measured the bottom shoe. The shape of the part in the photo that you provided is identical to mine. All of the measurements were the same except for the 1/2 inch width. My measurement was 14/32 inch- off by only 2/32 inch.

If you only have the 1/2 inch wide shoe, that will probably work.

Let me know how to exchange the 4 channel balances.

Thanks for your help.

Great! I don't think that small difference will matter. I don't know of any shoe in this style that isn't considered 1/2" in the trade.

We cannot exchange balances, but you can return the ones you purchased for a refund and then buy the new balances as normal. Check out our Return Policy for more information.
