One of the casters on my K200 is missing some bearings, and the cabinet tends to swerve pretty bad to one side - really annoying. Perusing old posts here it seems Grainger was the go-to supplier for good ball casters, but at one point I saw it mentioned that they were no longer made, or priced too high. Well, taking the supplied part number (5X758) to grainger.com showed they were indeed discontinued, but they had a link to a replacement:

Looks pretty good, and the price is certainly right, almost too good - a buck.43 each? Even with shipping, a set of four will set me back less than 20 bucks.

Anyone see anything wrong with these? The size and weight capacity appear to be the same.
