Replacement thread carriage

Does anyone make an upgraded thread carriage for the Pac-Bay wrapper? (understand most of the parts between the generic wrappers are interchangable). The rollers on the bottom of mine are falling apart and wouldn't mind finding a better carriage while I was at it and kill two birds with one stone.

Phill, you'll probably get a few responses to this but I found that the
"@#$%& Thread Tension Device" was a great unit and the price
is right.

Phil, Don't feel bad. Mine is only a few months old and the wheels are starting to feel a little drag and don't really roll smooth. Compond that with they are made out of a really soft metal. I'm trying to find a supply of a much improved wheel/bearing if I do I'll post here and send you an e-mail. Ron is correct about the @#$%& device, it works very well and makes a nice upgrade too.
