Good morning. I need to replace four tilt balances that are marked 34C PN BSI. The current balance has a hook that rests in a round hole in the track. It does not look to me that the existing hole will take the 26-200 screw plug. (I still have the hooks.) What do you suggest? Thanks for your help.

It sounds like you might have the S795-34, with a stamp option of 34C. Look this balance over to confirm. You're right; the 26-200 can help in these situations, but only if the hole in the window track is square-shaped. Otherwise, what we can do is custom-build balances for you with a 15-198 hook attached on top. 

I just need you to confirm that the Series 795 is indeed what you have, with a 34" long metal channel. Also please confirm what T-Lock Shoe your balance uses: the 15-195 1-1/4" Closed Cam Shoe, the 15-195B 1-1/4" Open Cam Shoe (you can see through the metal cam of this one, it has no back wall; this affects pivot bar compatibility); or the 15-194 1" T-Lock Shoe. From there, we can get started on these balances for you, no problem.
