Thanks!

Thank you for posting! This balance appears similar to our Series 385 channel balance, but I'm not entirely sure. Check out our 15-004 and see if its dimensions match that of your own shoe.

I am going to order 2 of these. I am just wondering if they come attached to the metal frame?
Thanks!

Are you referring to the 15-004? If so, then no they do not come attached to the frame. That would require you to purchase the entire balance. I just don't know if you have our Series 385 or Series 380 channel balances.

Where can I determine that? Will it be on the frame?

No. Our Series are determined by the nylon attachments on either end of the balance. I have already identified the top attachment as our 19-005, but I just need to know what the bottom shoe is. It appears similar to our 15-004, but I cannot be sure without you confirming dimensions, which is why I posted the picture above. Is that what your shoe is? You should also look at our 15-005, whose dimensions I will post here:

Please tell me which is closer.

The dimensions are the same as the 15-005, I am not sure which balance part number that is.

Thanks!

If 15-005 is the balance shoe you have, then you may want to consider our Series 380 balance.
