Hello! I am looking for 2x25" balances to replace the one in the photos. Which shoes would these be and do you have these in stock? Thanks so much for the help!

Hi Marc. This looks like either an S380-24 or S385-24. The only difference between these two balances is the 'depth' of the bottom nylon shoe, so compare both with your old hardware to see what matches best. You will need a stamp option of 2340.

Thanks for the help!

The bottom shoe measures 1 1/16" wide. So not really sure which of these it would match to better. The other measurements are 1/2" and 15/16" like the S380-24 model.

The photos for the S385-24 only give the 1" measurement and nothing else, so its hard to say exactly.

Thoughts? Thanks again!

The only measurement that particularly matters with the shoe is the depth. This can also be thought of as the 'heel-to-toe' measurement. The picture below is the shoe that comes attached to the Series 380. The depth is 1".

Alternate view of 15-005

If your shoe's depth is at all greater than 1", then you most likely have the Series 385. Sometimes these shoes wear down a bit over the years, so it may not be exactly 1-3/32". But if it's deeper than 1", then the Series 385 is the safe bet.
