Thanks for posting.

Your balance stamp option "26 5" will translate to our stamp option 2650. However, we will need to see photos of your balance attachmetns in order to determine the correct balance Series.

Please take a few photos of your balance and balance attachments and upload them so we can take a look.

Thanks for submitting your images.

It looks like you'll need the S385-27 Channel Balance with the 2650 stamp. However, please confirm the length of the channel portion of your balance? Is it 27"?

With this combination of attachments, you could have either an S380-27 or S385-27 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. You'll also need 2650 spring strength options for your replacement balances.

Thank you and let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
