Asked a good friend ( RPT ) and he </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=+0>didn't think there were</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=+0>any, but thought it was a good idea to post here for opinions.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=+0>Thanks in advance for any suggestions.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=+0></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=+0>Carl,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=+0>I like the Darnell Caster, double wheel w/the "H" designation. The "H" stands for Hardwood. The "C" designation is for "carpets". Also, the cast aluminum sockets are the way to go, IMO. A bit more work to install, but very sturdy! They used to be available from APSCO, but I think that Schaff has them as well.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>Regards,</FONT></DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
