Got one more question about the wheels. What kind would be good to get? I don't want to get something that will not be able to support the machine. Do they have weight ratings on them?

yes, casters have weight ratings so if they say they'll support 50lbs, then 4 x 50 = 200lbs total, and so on.  be careful when adding casters to any machine, it can make it quite "tippy", ( by placing the machine up on casters you are raising its center of gravity)  so put then as far out on the corners as possible. a fairly square-based machine like a Vendo V63 isn't as big as a concern as say a more rectangular shaped based machine.

Hi Chris. If you have a Princess Auto, go there. They have casters for a cheap price.

Harbor Freight..all kinds of casters and cheap.  Of course it is cheap Chinese tool stuff...but it'll work for this.

Would a Vendorlator VF-165 be a good machine to put these on? It is 64" tall, 32" wide, and 23 3/8" deep. It does seem to be rectangular.

I tried a set that I had from Princess Auto, and the machine did feel like it wanted to tip too easily. I've put the original feet back on, as it's sitting on a ceramic tile floor in the basement. I'm in the process of cleaning it up and removing the vend rack to lubricate it, and will post some pictures this weekend. It's extremely clean and very complete, just dusty, and some spilled pop inside... I think the wheels are a very good idea, just perhaps not for this machine with this particular floor...
