Hello,

With this combination of attachments, you could have either the S380-27 or S385-27 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'll also need 2630 spring strength options for your replacement balances. Thank you and let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Thanks you for getting back to me. Its much appreciated..

I'm not too sure about the exact measurement for the bottom attachment so I'm including photos of it with the measurement ruler.

Please take a look and let me know your thoughts.

Also I've notice that you recommend 27" instead of 26" but I believe I measured it to be 26", I might be wrong haha could you double check and verify it for me please? Just want to make sure.

Thanks again for your help and hope to hear from you soon.

Have a great day!

Best Regards,

We are not able to make out exact dimensions from photos but if the shoe depth measures over 1", the S385 would be the way to go. 

As for the length, this type of balance stamped with 26-3 would generally have a 27" long metal channel, not including the end fittings. I would recommend double-checking your measurement to confirm.

Thanks again for the fast response!

It seems like it's slightly or barely going over 1"
Also I remeasured the rod and it was indeed 27" haha
Thank you for the info.

So with that being said I should go with S385-27 with 2630 spring strength option?

I agree that the S385-27 (2630) would be the way to go if your shoe is over 1" deep. Thanks for posting!
