Title: Where can you find replacement casters (threaded) for pac-man?
Post by: dgordon86 on March 29, 2008, 05:07:53 pm

Sorry to post such a lame question, but I did some searching and couldn't find the answer.

Most of the casters out there are come with the baseplate attached to the wheel (like i have on my dk repro) or they come with a plug you insert into a pre-drilled hole that will accommodate the wheel axle.

I'm simply looking for casters that will thread into the bottom plaste of a pac-man machine.
Already checked home depot, but I couldn't find them.

I checked happ, but I couldn't seem to find them (or i'm just blind)
any help would be appreciated!

thanks,

Is this for an upright cabinet?

Are you looking for casters, which are wheels...... or are you really looking for the threaded in type feet / leg levelers ?

This is for the upright cabinet.

If you look at your standard caster at home depot  they have holes already in the plate, and you bolt onto the cabinet.

The caster I'm looking for threads into a baseplate that is already attached to my cabinet.
