Well, it is a Francis Bacon suggesting that solid scientific inquiry into the problem trumps the sanctity of holy artifacts, even at one's own expense. Many good ideas in this thread, thanks all for preventing me from just passing the problem on to Ilvedson (at least for the moment).

Get some 7/16"x3" (or thereabouts) steel stock and make spanner platforms for each leg, attaching to the dolly leg in the center of each. A bolt threaded into the steel on each end of each spanner, pointing up, can go into the caster socket to corral the legs at a considerably lower cost than replacing the legs. It's amazing to me that leg replacement is even entertained, considering the list volume generated on reversibility of any minute deviation from the sacred ancestral morphology. Or is that just in the ultra holy artifacts? Ron N
