I just took delivery on a KG412 cabinet, and was surprised that it didn't ship with casters (and apparently doesn't come with them). But the mounting blocks for casters are there and ready, and so I wondered if anyone has suggestions about proper "replacement" casters. Even the image on the box shows casters, but none were there.

Thanks for your help.

Creedence + Kustom: a great combination.

Well if you are looking for the vintage Kustom type chrome roller casters, Peavey makes a real close copy and the only difference is a slightly smaller square mounting plate,my guess would also be that these are made in China so I would expext the chrome to not hold up anywhere as long as the orignals did!!

These can be had from antique electronics supply.
And in regards to mounting/placement, I think you have anwsered your own question, but basicly you want any caster to be as close to the cornors of the cab as possible.

Also - Granger has a replacement that seems to be an exact replacement:
