Leg Levellers, wheels, and plates, oh my!
Sylentwulf:
Ok, Time for me to decide.
I'm building a cab based on the ultimate arcade II design, it's going to be on hardwood floor and/or hard vinyl flooring. I'm going to be buying the t-molding and bezel from happ depending on the shipping rate I can get, so I'm planning on getting the leg levelers or wheels from them too.
Question is, any suggestions/pro's/con's as to which to get, wheels or leg levelers?
If I'm getting wheels, they MUST LOCK and NOT MOVE while I'm playing. I prefer wheels, but haven't been able to find non-swivel locking casters.
Leg levelers - There are a ton of choices at www.happcontrols.com and 2 different? mounting plates for them. Which leg levelers and plates should I get? I was looking at the 2 below, any yay's or nay's for these?

Go with wheels, mine are locking but due to the 400lb weight of the cab I don't need to lock them it only moves if I want it too!
My cab is on a hardwood floor too, I don't know anything about leg levellers but if you don't have wheels its going to be really hard to move it.

Good question! I have a set of fridge casters (they roll back n forth but will not turn).
Anyone recommend if I should install those on my cab?
Sylentwulf:
Looks like I'm gonna continue my hunt for locking non-swivel casters right now. Home depot being pretty much the only place I have available to find them, and their selection sucks.

I use swivel, locking casters on the front and non-swivel casters on the back. The non-swivel do not have locks but the machine just does not move at all when I play. You'd be fine with this setup.
