[CAUT] unmusical caster noise

[Jim Busby]

Thanks Ron,

I'll try it.

This may be a dumb question but is there any reason why the locking wheels are on the front, and the non locking one is on the rear? Or, am I ignorant and all three usually ARE locking casters?

Thanks.
Jim

Try swapping it with one of the front ones. It may work, or if
not, may give you a clue why it's doing it in the first place
once it's out.
