Need help ID'ing balances and shoes

I need to replace two, 25" and two, 22" balances and the corresponding shoes.

I've looked at your various parts, but I can't figure out which ones to get.

The balances appear to be 3/8" diameter.

Attached are photos.

Can you ID which parts I need?

Thank you very much.

Hey there!

I recommend the Series 900 if the outer tube measures 3/8" in diameter. I can't identify the pivot shoe just yet though. Can you confirm the thickness and width of the pivot shoe? It can be hard to get accurate dimensions from photos of a tape measure.

Sorry for the delay. Here are clear pictures showing the dimensions of the shoes:

2" tall
1-1/8" wide
1/2" thick

Thanks for getting back to us. Your pivot shoe looks like the old Silverline shoe which has been replaced with the 15-046. Take a look at the specifications and see what you think.

As for the balance, you may want to double-check the outer tube diameter to be safe. I noticed you have a red nylon bearing and that usually correlates with the 5/8" diameter Series 600.
