Jeff,

forget the original balun.
3-60 means it is a balun for the range from 3 to 60 MHz.
I also provided half wave cable baluns on all my KLM yagis.

A pair of their 6 element 15m I use for almost 40 years. 
Tight the band clamps firmly but not more!

Contact DX Engineering. They have boom/mast adapter that will work 
nicely with your beam.

They also have a very good 4:1 balun and the necessary hardware to mount 
it to your boom. I used both on my KT34XA along with the boom support. 
The original boom/mast adapter is less that it should be. The DX 
Engineering adapter is much more robust.

Check it out.

Jeff,  You can easily make a 15 meter balun out of a half wave piece of
coax loop back with one side of the coax going to the feed point and the
other to the other side feed point.  All the braids are tied together.
Just Google 4:1 coax balun.
