Friends,

I  couldn't find caster inserts for my 19 some 40 years ago so I made an 
angle  iron frame with open steel mesh to rest the feet. That prohibited the 
rolling  under any perforator but I still haven't got a roller base for a 
perf  anyway.

That said.

I found out the "hard way" that ordinary  casters will NOT work on a wood 
floor and maybe not on plastic or composite  floors. The machine is so heavy 
that the forces on a small, narrow high  durometer or Bakelite caster will 
compress, PERMANENTLY, the floor material. I  had to run the diameter up to 
2" and 3/4" wide , double wheel, soft durometer  caster assembly so my oak 
parquet didn't get tracks in it after rolling around  the 19 to reach 
connections and service the REC-30... No I don't know what the  durometer is, sorry.

No problem if you have a concrete or ceramic tile  floor...
