[GreenKeys] Casters for M28 Teletype equipment

[W2HX]

This is excellent info. I am just now building a new shack over the garage and will be putting down hard wood flooring. Since this shack will be new, I am sure to be rearranging things many times before I am happy with the layout.  I never knew the details.  I prefer mcmaster carr. All orders get to me the next day and I love their website. I did a search for "casters 1/2-13" and I got probably a 100 different options! 

Jim, might you have a guess (or even better) on the length of the shaft that would be similar to the original? I am thinking of getting some with a brake lever on them so they wont move when I type on them/

Thanks for this information

I just discovered that W.W. Grainger is closing out a bunch of suitable casters (threaded stem casters with 1/2x13 thread) that will screw into
M28 equipment in place of the adjustable feet.  Prices are less than $5 each.  Some suitable part numbers I found are 3A711, 1ZNK5, 3A732.
(Look in their online catalog to see what you get for those numbers) There may be others too, I didn't look at everything in the catalog.
