CHANNEL BALANCE Identification Request

A home owner from Los Angeles says:
Hi,

The string in my channel balance snapped. I'd like some help in identifying the right channel balance. The metal part is 19 inches.

Also, it has the following markings: 18-5 G05 CMC 43

Thanks!

Hello, thank you for posting! 

With this combination of attachments, you could have either an S380 or S385 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. 

Comparison of the S380 and S385 balance shoes.

You will need a 19" balance with stamp option 1850. Please let me know if you have any questions.
