Hello there!

Take a look at the Series 351 and Series 390 channel balances. The important difference is the depth of the bottom shoe so you'll have to measure as shown below to determine the best match.

The balance's metal channel should measure on an even inch, however. Can you double-check that for us? Can you also confirm the stamp printed on the balance?

I'll measure the shoe depth.
Where is the stamp typically located?

The stamp is located on the back of the metal channel, usually toward the end of the channel where the bottom shoe is. After looking closer at your last photo, it appears to be 2930 which means the metal channel should measure 30" long.

its a 2930 and the shoe is 1" so that must be an S351

Hello,

If the stamp reads 2930, the length of the metal channel excluding the nylon attachments should measure 30 inches long. Please double check to make sure the length lines up to your original. If so, see the S351-30 channel balance with a 2930 stamp option. 

Please let us know if you have any questions or if there are any discrepancies to move forward. Thank you!
