The balances I need are for non-tilting windows, they measure 27 inches. They have a stamp with 26C USB on it

Thanks for reaching out to us! We should be able to help with this. Before I make my recommendation, can you show us a photo of the inside of the metal channel where the innerspring connects to the pulley mechanism?

It looks like this balance is missing the innerspring components. Is there an undamaged version of this balance we can see?

Thank you! Based on what I see in your photos, I recommend our Series 380 or Series 385 channel balances. You'll have to measure below to determine the best match.

Your 26C stamp may translate to the 2630 option but you could always weigh the window sash on a scale to confirm it falls within the 13 to 19 pound range. 

Let me know if you have any questions!
