Baldwin with no casters cant attatch lyre

[John Ross]

I purchased two automobile scissor jacks, at an auto junk yard.
I have used them to put a grand on a truck. I removed one leg at a time, and removed the caster.
I had made a couple of sturdy boxes, as base. Actually 4x4's, and a padded 2x6 below the piano, when I raised the back leg.
I was alone, and I don't recollect, having a problem.
If you are putting it on a truck, be sure to block up to the height of the other wheels, as you don't want it to raise, at the end you are jacking.

  Greetings,

          A customer of mine bought a Baldwin grand out of a guy's garage for a bargain. This piano has no casters (or rather, they cant find them) The movers set the piano up, however they couldnt put the pedal lyre on the thing. How do I go about getting the piano up and getting the casters on? Can I even get a new set of casters for this thing? Any advice will be helpful.

  Thanks in advance
