Hi Tom,

I need to order some balances. the print on balance is 27 5 IX CMC 7. From the top and bottom nylon fittings, I can tell it is either series 380 or series 385. The different is the depth of the bottom part. 1" and 1 3/32" is so close. Mime looks like 1 1/16'. Any tip on identify these two?

Sometimes these shoes wear down a little from age. If it's greater at all than 1", and the configuration of the balance otherwise looks like the Series 385, then it's the Series 385.

perfect. I will order some balances from series 385. They are out of stock, so I am waiting for the back order notice.

Thank you
