How interested would you be in fixing this yourself? With a few tools and a little elbow grease you could stop the progression of the rust relatively cheaply. If the metal is not too far gone I'd say it could be "fixed" for under $100. By fixed I am referring to stopping the rust from getting worse. So long as the rusted area is not structural, and by your description it is not, as long as there are no holes you are fine to just stop the rust from getting worse. I'd say if you've got access to a few tools, remove the rust and ask a shop to look and see if it should be good to use a rust preventative paint/coating.
As far as repairing the metal itself, the only real fix is to cut it out and weld new metal back on. Which is considerably more expensive, though if you do some of it yourself you could save quite a bit of the cost.
If you just wanted to stop the progression of the rust, use an angle grinder with one of [these] (https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DW4910-8-Inch-11-Knotted-020-Inch/dp/B00004RHAL/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469088859&sr=8-1&keywords=wire+cup+brush) to remove all the rust and bring it to bare metal. Then get some [por 15] (https://www.amazon.com/POR-15-45004-Gloss-black-Preventive/dp/B00H2VVL0S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469088930&sr=8-1&keywords=por+15) and coat the area well. This should be sufficient to stop the rust from spreading. If you went this route I would advise doing dome research and just using this over any accessible rust prone areas you can find, though that would just be extra insurance.
Thank you. I used a knotted cup on the paint that wouldn't come off. That is the only thing I used on the legs. It didn't damage the surface. Test it on an area that wont be seen before you go at it all over. After the paint was gone I wiped it all down with mineral spirits. I used two coats of Rust-Olium primer and let it dry for a couple days. The label says 1 or 48 hours for top coat. The paint is Rust-Olium Smoke Gray. Light coats otherwise it will run and you have to take the surface back to metal. I learned this on the motor. I would not clear coat it in the end. It caused orange peel in some areas that I had to repaint. Good luck on the restoration!
I am really sorry but there isnt any adapter available to reduce the size on the Grinder. Therefore you are going to have to purchase the correct brush wheels. Check out the link below and see if you find this suggestion useful. [5/8" brush wheel]
