Need help identifying balances

Question

Hello,

This is the first time I've tried replacing these and I was hoping you could help me to identify which balance I need. In addition to the photos provided, here is the writing that was on the balances: 26 3 JV CMC 2

They measured 27 inches long and the width looks to be slightly larger than 1/2 an inch with approximately the same depth.

Please let me know if this is enough info or if you need more I'm happy to provide it.

Thanks,
Justin

Hello, thank you for posting,

With this combination of attachments, you could have either an S380 or S385 channel balance. You’ll need to measure as shown below. The Series 380 has a 1" bottom attachment, and the Series 385 has a 1-3/32" attachment.

You will need a 27" balance with a 2630 stamp option. Please review and let us know if you have any additional questions!
