Thanks for posting. See our S380-24 or S385-24 Channel Balance. The only difference between these two balances is the 'depth' of the bottom nylon shoe, or the 'heel-to-toe' measurement. See the diagram below. Measure your old balance's shoe to see what matches best.

You then have to choose a stamp option, which reflects the balance's strength. Your old balance stamp of 23-9 is from an outdated rating system. To know what stamp to select, weigh the window sash these balances support. You can then use that exact weight to pick the correct stamp option. Let me know if you have any questions.
