My DD Stainless Steel Performer was falling apart. The bottom horizontal welds had broken lose. The swivel caster had disintegrated. If you tried to move it the frame would just rack. I had it held together with tie wire.
I did not try to restore it. I just wanted to make it functional again.
I took it all apart and sanded all the rust off and cleaned things. I then used corner brackets at all horizontal and vertical intersections. I used 1/4” all thread thru the bottom horizontal members with acorn nuts on each end. I screwed some aluminum angle to the vertical members that held the swivel casters. I then painted it and reassembled it.
I can now move it without any problems, and it works just fine.
I did this about two years ago and it is holding up well.
The last two pictures are the finished product
