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.
 
If you bought this from a guy in Sacramento California, that would be me. :D
I sold one...sans end panels as I bought it rack mounted myself, in an angled OEM rollaround stand. If they are factory rack rails, yes, they will hold. If the rails are HEAVY DUTY custom rails, yet screwed into the appropriate designated holes, with the right screws, yes, it will hold. However, IF, you DID NOT buy it from me, and IF these rails are made of lightweight aluminum angle, I would say "buyer beware". :eek:

That's funny, I just answered this question in another forum.
