Members notjonahbutnoah Posted June 4, 2012 Members Share Posted June 4, 2012 Went to GC just to dick around, maybe try some guitars or something, turned a corner and saw this guy. JCM 900 1960 A in white. Tested it with a DSL and a Wolfgang... lovely. It's currently awaiting practice in my car. Should go awesomely with my Stiletto. My question is about the casters. It didn't come with any, the Ernie Ball ones don't fit, and Marshall ones are expensive and in England. Don't wanna pay nearly 1/3 of what I paid for the cab for some goddamn wheels. Do hardware stores have the scrww in style of casters or am I SOL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice av btw, a friend of mine gave me that wallet a few months back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members knope Posted June 4, 2012 Members Share Posted June 4, 2012 Any hardware store should have some heavy duty casters at a fraction of the price of the official Marshall. Find out what size they are and you should be able to find a set that fits. Speakers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could just pop a socket out and bring it into the store with me. It's got the 75's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pioneerprogress Posted June 4, 2012 Members Share Posted June 4, 2012 I've used casters from the hardware store before. My only advice is go ahead and spray them with some WD-40, mine got squeaky in a hurry. I would also recommend the furniture dolly idea. I've seen them in Big Lots for 20 bucks.

Members Mesa/Kramer Posted June 4, 2012 Members Share Posted June 4, 2012 Yeah, right? They're just so pretty in white. Best part is that it's used and has some light wear/discoloration so I'm not gonna have to be all anal about it. Thanks! Ya think? I just didn't know if the screw in kind that fit these sockets were readily available. I could just pop a socket out and bring it into the store with me. It's got the 75's.

That's like $1 worth of fabric. But anyway, I'm not too worried about it. Like I said, it already has some imperfections so you know, hard part's over. That first ding is always the worst.

Members Canadian Jeff Posted June 4, 2012 Members Share Posted June 4, 2012 I've used casters from the hardware store before. My only advice is go ahead and spray them with some penetrating silicone lube, mine got squeaky in a hurry. I would also recommend the furniture dolly idea. I've seen them in Big Lots for 20 bucks.

Members Rey Gato Posted June 4, 2012 Members Share Posted June 4, 2012 My 1960 had no casters when I got it. I didn't shell out for the correct ones. I just bought some heavy duty ones from the hardware store for like $5 each or something. They have flat mounting plates and attach with 4 screws.

I just bought some heavy duty ones from the hardware store for like $5 each or something. They have flat mounting plates and attach with 4 screws. Came here to say that. With my old Randall cab I removed the old sockets (it came with the sockets but no wheels), got 4 flat plate wheels at Home Depot for $5 each and installed them. Worked really well.
