Channel balance is 1/2 inch wide. From plastic tip to plastic tip it is 34? long. The metal part without tips is 32 7/8? long.

We can replace this balance, though it will have to be specially made. Before we can begin, can you show me a picture of the metal hook at the end of the cord? Can you also tell me how many you need?

I was able to take a look at the other channel balance and all I need is a new piece of the 1/16" cord. It broke where it attaches to the hook at the bottom end of the balance so when I put what's left of the cord around the pullies and reattach it to the hook the assembly is 7/8" shorter than the one in the other balance. Do you just sell the cord?

Thank you! That's just what we need to see. Please give us just a little more time as we look into this balance's availability. I hope to get you a quote very soon.

As for replacing the cord, I'm afraid we don't sell that by itself. We highly recommend you don't attempt that. These balances are under a lot of tension and we find that trying to replace the cord is more trouble than it's worth.

Okay! We have everything we need to get started with the special order. I just need to know how many balances you need and I'll email you a price quote and order link.

I just need one although it may make sense to replace both so I have a spare. If I am only going to replace one and because it just needs a cord and all other parts are fine, would it make sense for me to just send you the whole balance so you can simply replace the cord?

I'm sorry, but we wouldn't be able to do that. We can only provide the entire balance as a replacement. Let me know how many you would like and I can send you the custom order link.

Just one.

I'm afraid because these are a special order, we can only supply 2 at the absolute minimum. I hope that's okay. We usually recommend replacing both at the same time, anyway. I'll email you an order link and price quote for 2 right now.
