Hello,
Currently I have 2 different sized channel balances that need to be replaced I need 1 of the smaller size and 2 of the larger sized. The smaller sized one is 18 inches long and the longer is 27 inches long. The smaller one has "16 5 ES Caldwell" printed on it. The longer one has "25 2 GW CMC 11" printed on it. I'd love to get some replacements! Thank you!

Hello,
With this combination of attachments, you could have either an S380 or S385 channel balance. You 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 to choose your spring strength options based on your balances stamps. I would recommend double-checking your lengths since a 25 2 stamp would normally indicate a 26" long metal channel and a 16 5 stamp would indicate a 17" long channel. Make sure you are only measuring the channel and not the end attachments to choose the correct lengths.
Thank you and let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
