you don't weld, any welder can make them up out of mild steel plate. This is
not a difficult or expensive undertaking, compared to having new legs made,
 fitting leg plates in the new legs and case, and  finishing the new legs to
match the old finish.

For a refinement, measure the separation between the legs in a pair, and have
little studs welded on which fit into the caster sockets. This removes the
need for a lip.

I did exactly this on a Colson piano truck a couple of years ago.  The retrofit
worked just fine.  No need to replace legs.  The cost to fabricate three plates
with welded pins was nominal.
