Unique channel balance pivot lock shoe broken

Hello there. Unfortunately, Unique balance manufacturer has gone out of business. Was this piece attached to a balance by chance? If so, would you be able to send us a photo of the balance?

If we were to give an educated guess based on everything you provided, our S795-27 channel balance with a 15-195 t-lock balance shoe could be used as a replacement. However, I don't believe the 15-195 will fit into your Unique channel balance. Look over the parts mentioned. Get back to us with thoughts as well any additional information you may have on this part, and more photos of the hardware this piece was attached to.

Thank you. Okay assuming your metal channel is 27", I believe you can use our S795-27. If the shoe is 1" wide, I also recommend purchasing our 15-194 separately and swapping it out with the default shoe when you receive them. Also keep in mind that the S795-27 installs at the top using a screw tab, not a hook. If yours uses a hook, please let me know.

I'm afraid you won't be able to use our T lock shoes in your balance. Unique used a different style, so ours won't be able to fit in the balance.

I recommend measuring the length of the metal channel to confirm what size you need. In my experience, Unique balances are 1" longer than what the stamp indicates. There is a reason for this, but it's convoluted, so I won't go into it. At the end of the day you should just measure to be sure. Just know that in most cases the stamp is not a literal representation of any physical aspect of the balance, it just indicates what the spring strength rating is.

Sounds like our S795-27 can work as a replacement. If the T-shoe is 1-1/4" wide, then the default shoe that comes with this balance should work fine. I'd also recommend the 27B option.
