I came in late on this, my computer's been down for a day and a half.

If I understand the problem it's a double leg grand of not a lot of value
that needs(?) to be moved frequently.

I have experience with such a problem, the solution is, similar to
that suggested by the sage Mr. Nossaman.
Angle iron cut long enough to allow both legs a resting place, bolted
down through the dolly arm with the legs attached to it, the one I saw was
wired down.
However I'm certain strap steel or pieces of moving strap could be
accomodated to fit the bill.
Not exactly pretty but extremly functional!

Mike
