[CAUT] Tipping Casters

[McNeilTom at aol.com]

Hi, Jon -
 
I agree with Roger - that your second fix below is the way to go.  Do  what 
he says and it will be just fine.  We did a restoration on a 7'  Bechstein a 
couple years ago, 1920 I think.  Same casters with the large  offset.  I was 
amazed to discover that they were absolutely solid in spite  of the passing 80 
years, weight, etc.  Of course they were perfectly  fitted to begin with.  If 
you wipe a very thin coating of grease on the  inside of the ferules before you 
epoxy them on some piano tech fifty years from  now will bless you!
 
Best regards,

Would I  be better off searching for the two-piece set replacement?
Or use  Marine-Tex epoxy to 'fit' the tenon to the ferrule and plug
the old post  hole to secure with longer screws.
