Crossbow Balance Replacement

A contractor from nc says:
May 29, 2018

I had ordered your 34.5" Series 850 Crossbow Balance and later found out you no longer carry this item. What would be a upgrade that will work without changing the pivot bar? Could I use a channel balance, and attach a t shoe to it? The balances were on the website and ordered, then I received a call saying that you didn't have them, and now I'm stuck.

We believe you can use our S795-34 as a replacement for your balance. There are a few things you need to do to make sure it successfully converts.

  • Measure the bottom shoe on your balance to make sure it's 1-1/4" wide. If it's not, let me know. We have other options.
  • Weigh your sash to confirm the proper stamp option. We have a chart on the S795-34 store page you can use as reference.
  • You will need our 26-021 pivot bar, since your old one won't work.

Let me know if you have any questions.
