Channel Balancer #2

Question

I require 3 different balancer types so due to the restriction of five photo uploads I will send three separate messages numbered #1, #2, and #3.

The windows are 21 years old and while only a half dozen of the balancers have completely failed, the others are very stiff so my plan would be to replace all 16 channel balancers at one time to avoid future issues.

I look forward to your help!

Thanks for posting. It looks like you have either an S380-27 or S385-27 Channel Balance. The only difference between these two balances is the depth of the bottom nylon shoe, or the measurement from 'heel to toe'. See the diagram below for reference. Based on your photo, it looks like the depth is greater than 1", and therefore you'd need the Series 385. But pictures of measuring tape can be deceiving, so do double-check this to be safe.

Comparison of the S380 and S385 balance shoes.

In either case, for a stamp option, go with 2650.
