It needs more then just a set of legs, since it was a highboy it also had a set of stretchers to brace between the legs. I replaced the legs on an early Canadian Marconi console, which technically was a lowboy but had stretchers, and I used larger diameter maple dowels to pin and glue the new legs on.
I found a guy that did wood turning as a hobby and he made a pair of legs for me based on the originals, the originals were made out of gum or poplar. One leg had broken off, the other was still attached but had chunks broken out of it, he used the broken off leg for a pattern. the rear legs were just rectangular posts that extended down at the back.
Here is the highboy 95 with the legs and stretchers:
