Gary,
In the first place I figure it's probably worth the money to have your
engine balanced, so even if it's nominally balanced for a 260, I'd guess
they can still use it. However, if the balancer is pretty old, you might be
running some risk of it coming apart on you, so it would be safer to buy a
new one; and better yet, a HiPo unit.
