Anyone else have issue with wheels breaking on the FK-514 cabinet? I only sold 3 of this model and with all of them at least one wheel broke while transporting. And to make it even worse there isn't even a parts manual for cabinet on Kon/Min dealer website! This "7" series is an ugly stepchild like the C200 was......

We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.

Yes, we have had a few break on us during moves. This is only one we ever seen break.Comment

Same here. Very rare the wheels break on other Kon/Min models. The problem with this poor design is they used a cheap plastic insert that wheel shaft goes into. Breaks the center right out (see pics). What were they thinking!! Let me guess, trying to save pennies by using plastic instead of metal insert.Comment

They made upgraded castors for the DK-513, which is the cabinet for the B&W 227/287. They offered them up for free at the time, though no idea if they can still be ordered or not. See attached Bulletin.
I'm not sure if those would be of any use for the DK-514, but even if they were , it looks like they would only be useful if the original plastic mount was not yet broken.
