Can the OP confirm this is true? There are 13699680 total variants to check against, without repetitions and without trying to replace some position with the existing value. That's a lot of addresses to check the balance for.

Come on, you don't need to check the balance, you just need to get address of puzzle #120, that's all.

Maybe I missed something

What address are you talking about? You posted a 120-bits private key and said that three hex chars were intentionally changed. What address were we supposed to find, from the 14 million different possible alterations?

This is what shocks me. You are very very active on btc puzzle thread and 1st to comment on this thread.
It was simple and luck just compared each key while changing 3 characters again public key not address.
