Humidifier Caster Feet

The ancient and muchrepaired Sears humidifier works better in its new location across the living room with its front raised a few millimeters, which may have something to do with its plastic housing supporting a pair of heavy water containers for a few decades.

After fiddling around with shims to find the proper height, these feet descended from the Husky workbench feet:

The humidifier seems much happier with its casters 4 mm above the floor. Seems awfully fussy to me, but there’s no arguing with success.
