I have to admit, I am getting older. I just can't lift my musical instrument cabinets like I used to. So that meant it was time to put some wheels (casters) on them.
First up, is a Laney cabinet I bought a few years back. I hated the speakers that were in it, so I sold them, and bought Carvin Vintage Series speakers to replace them in the cab. They are American sounding speakers so I pair them with my Crate Blue Voodoo amp. It has the American sounding 6L6 tubes in it.
So it was time to put wheels on it.
Since I was using bolts and not screws I had to put the casters closer inside than I would have liked. I needed to have room around the bolts to put lock washers and nuts.
Luckily, I was able to get the casters put in appropriate places. The cabinet is standing upright just fine with the Crate head on it.
The cabinet is a bit beat up, but it is still very strong. I also happen to like the handles on it as well. The project wasn't so hard as it was time consuming. I had to make sure everything was in the right place. But at least I can move the cabinet around now much easier. Really, I should have done this a long time ago.
