Thanks for posting. Please confirm the length of the metal channel. Do not include the end attachments in that measurement. For a balance stamped '29-3', the length should be 30", but confirm just to be safe. If so, then you likely have either the S385-30 or S380-30. The difference between these two channel balances is the depth of the bottom nylon shoe, or the measurement from 'heel' to 'toe'. See the diagram below for reference. Compare both with your old balance to see what matches best. In either case, for a new stamp option choose 2930.

Comparison of the S378, S380 and S385 balance shoes.

Thank you very much !
Really appreciated your comments. When I measured just metal rail, i believe the length was 30" but i will double check to make sure.
Also i will double check on the end attachments like you mentioned.
Thank you for your help and have a nice day !
