I saw another post that recommended a series 385 to replace my channel but the shoe is slightly different so I wanted to confirm. My sash weighs 33 pounds and the length of the channel is 30". I was going to go with the series 385 with the 2960 option. Can you look at the pic of the shoe I have and confirm the 385 will be ok? Thanks.

Upon closer investigation of the top and shoe and comparing them with the dimensions on your website I believe I have a 19-005 Top and a 15-002 shoe. This does not appear to be the combination that makes up any of your balances. Could I make a 15-005 shoe work which has the same dimensions but adds the wings? I believe that would be a Series 380. Thoughts?

I have a question. In the channel information you had a length of 28" and the balance stamp of 2960. I assume this is based on the 29-9 CMC BA 9 number I provided from the channel. While I understand the 2960 based on the weight of the sash, the current channel is 30" not 28".

Oh, I'm sorry! That was a typo on my part. Yes, I intended to have the length be 30" like you stated. I have revised the quote so that it now shows the correct length. Thanks for catching that!
