Thanks for posting a source for casters. I have a BA-123 that came to
me with one missing (but I think there is some bent metal on one or
more corners where the casters go)*. I should probably just get 2-4
casters and be ready to replace them all.

* In my experience, lots of people used to sit on BA-123s, especially
people who were large enough that they should have known better.

Yup, thanks for the URL! My BA123 casters were damaged rolling them
in the move to the new house. Ridges between tiles are hard on them.
Ethan, if you are going to buy one or two (or may be 4) casters,
I'd be interested in also getting 4 new casters, especially if they
fit perfectly (read: no extra holes drilling required) ...
If a few more people on this list have BA123's with damaged casters,
may be you can go for the discount quantity ...
thanks,
- Henk.

This is related to why my spare chassis has issues. I used to sit
other hardware on top of it. The one my PDP-11/73 lives in hasn't
had much more than a VT420 sitting on it in the last 10+ years (and
for 8+ of them it hasn't even had that on top).
