Rack-Mount Teac 80-8?

[miasma]

I own a Teac 80-8, and recently, because of a growing collection of gear, space considerations, blah blah blah, I decided that I should mount it in a (angled) rack stand. The knowlegable and competent gentleman who sold the unit, sans wood-veneer sides, and with a pair of ears, tells me that he had the unit rack-mounted for years. On one hand, I tend to believe him - two (of several) holes in the ears line up quite nicely with two relatively small holes on either side of the 80-8. On the other hand, the 80-8 weighs 72 lbs, and two relatively small screws on either side doesn't appear (at least to me) necessarily enough to hold it. Am I missing something? Thanks.

There was a rack-kit Teac RM-88 for your machine.
I don't think the regular 4 small screws was used for rack-mount.
When the sidepanels are off, it has 2 guides on each side that I think was combined using RM-88.
