John, from your snet address, I assume you're in CT. You anywhere near
Wallingford? I have a set that look like Harbor Freight's steel version (
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.tafItemnumber=32052
). Bought from a place called Metro Tool, a poor man's HF. :) Don't
remember what they cost, but I think it was less than HF's $70/pair, albeit
about 5 years ago. Four cast iron, ball bearing casters each. I don't know
the manufacturer's name, but I do know they aren't US General. I use them
for my TR3 and moving it by myself is a piece of cake.
I don't know if Metro Tool still carries them or if they ship - or even if
they're still in business. I just tried to call them to ask, but at 5:50PM
on Sunday, I guess they're closed and no voice mail. For all I know, their
number has changed, but if you want to try, the number I have is
800-886-6578. NFI whatsoever - I think the dollies are the only things I've
ever purchased from them.
Perhaps you could exchange your aluminum ones for the HF steel (Central
Machinery) version. Good luck!
