    Thanks in advance.

    I've been using them for years. I get them here: http://208.245.181.35/cgi-bin/worderc?confc=B2C
    #R33-7500 (bottom of the page)
    At 70 cents each, they are an excellent value.
    I buy them 100 at a time (i think you get a little
    discount in that quantity).

    Personally i HATE those rubber footie things
    that go under leg levelers. They give the game
    a weird feel when you nudge.

    As long as they are rated for the weight of pinball games or video. I've
    seen a number of the nylon glides collapse after a while - weeks to years...

    It is a problem for metal leg levelers these days, hard to find ones
    that don't collapse under load. A lot of the off-shore ones are using
    thinner metal that the old time ones. Take a look at levelers on the
    rear legs of your heavier games - any of those have compressed the bell
    in the middle (where the round head of the bolt pushes against the
    glide) so it is now touching the floor? It has failed.
