    Someone backed out the locking T-bolt all the way and it can't be found. S&S will only sell complete casters. I only need the bolt. Hoping someone has orphaned parts they can spare. TIA

    Dave,

    Can you send a pic of that caster? Or let us know date of piano manufacture. I believe they've changed over the years.

    I don't understand why they unscrew the T-bolt more than a couple turns!  I constantly find them unscrewed several times out. It's unnecessary and frustrating. Then, they don't screw them back in when 'parking' it back in its' resting place!  Ugh!!

    Paul, this is at a Univeristy. With College students who know (or think they do) everything.
    But it's never their fault (or hide the evidence if it is). 

    Actually, I was only looking for help finding a part, not for commentary of who did, should or shouldn't do something. 

    Have you got a part for me? 

    Thanks,

    I'm sure I have the wheel-shaped handle which preceded the T, I replaced a whole set back in the day, because of a broken-off socket flange!  I don't know if the threads are interchangeable.
