Rolling Rhodes Stage - Locking Casters or Wheels?

Hello guys!

Been having a blast with my Rhodes 88 Stage (not Fender) from around '76 I believe.  My studio is moving and the final setup of gear in the new studio will be in flux for a few months.  I was wondering if anyone had a method of keeping their Rhodes stage piano setup and ready to play, but also on casters so it's rollable.  This would probably involve building some type of custom dolly or wheels or something.  Just wondering if anyone has done this.  It would be great for me to be able to roll it around the studio without disturbing the harp and dampers (I never screw in the harp -- I find it facilitates adjustments to the piano).

Anyway, thoughts, pix, ideas, etc. are all welcome.

I go to a Christian college in Minneapolis,MN and i am a huge fan of the Rhodes.  What i did so i could gig with my Rhodes at school and places around the city is to at wheels right onto the piano at the ends.  This is the only pic i have of the wheels on it at the moment but i hope you can understand what i did.  It is very easy to move it around but the only problem is that its top heavy when you pack up everything so you will need to be careful.
