does anyone know where to get a small caster?
The smallest one I've found is one with a 1.25 inch wheel.
I want a really small one like 3/8 inch load hight.
I know that's kinda small but otherwise, I'll settle for the smallest I
can get my hands on.
I'd buy a lego kit, little toy shelf, etc and just use the caster if I
have to.
I can't use a ping pong ball or anything either.
Thanks for any help.  :)

(...) You could try opening up any personal cassette player. I have used several of these. They have a rubber wheel (capstan head, pinch wheel I don't know what their proper name is) on a very convenient metal bracket. Most of the ones I have seen (...)
