I did what you are proposing on a CD player of mine some time ago. I mounted a piece of 3/8-inch plywood to the bottom of the player with screws. This damped the chassis somewhat. My intent was to mount drawer pulls in the plywood such that rollerballs could be mounted beneath drawer pulls attached to the plywood.I mounted another set of drawer pulls to a piece of MDF mirroring the pulls in the plywood. The drawer pulls were held in place by modeling clay in both the plywood and MDF.
I used 3/8-inch stainless steel balls for the roller balls. I was quite satisfied with the results at the time. I subsequently, read that the roller balls should make contact in a concave dish either above or below, but not both.
I have since modified another CD player and used Tungsten Carbide balls in cups below and the flat portion of the CD player chassis rolls atop the rollerballs. I have not done an A/B with the two players to see if I discern a difference.
Although, I must say that I did hear difference when I went from stainless steel to TC rollerballs in the latest modified player.
I say go for it. It, certainly, is a step up on cabin fever.
