Hi Ken,

If you can't find what you need at those sites try MSC Industrial
Supply heres the link

I had a stage dolly under a grand in one of the schools I work for
that was very old, the wheels/w plates had been welded on to it and it
had no discernable brand name on it. All I had to go by was weight,
wheel diameter, plate size and I chose wheel composition. I have the
catalog from this company which weighs easily 10 pounds and serves
well as a doorstop, it has 90 pages of wheels. I got myself so
confused I ended up calling them for help which they graciously gave
me. They found wheels, 400lb weight, 4", right size plate, with a
brake for $11 apiece and I had them 36 hours later. The grand was a 6
foot Yamaha and the dolly had 4" wheels originally so I would have
been happy with 350 weight.

I understand they now supply their catalog on dvd. <grin>

Mike
