Captrusty, You could just get a set of later model ball bearing wheels, and replace the bearings with 1/2" bore ones, which are very easy to get....
I haven't bought any for a while, but the last set of these from FleaBay set me back ~$17 posted, for 8 bearings and 4 retainer washers [as used on Masports].
Cheers, Gadge
