Hm. I can't bolt things to the floor in my apartment (never mind that the
building is so far below code, bolting anything to a floor beam would
probably crack it).  But the picture of a relay rack in the Newark catalog
shows base flanges extending a little ways front and back from the bottom
of the rails, I guess to put bolts into.  You think I could maybe hold it
down with a few 15kg lead bricks?  If you normally bolt those flanges
down, they must be strong enough that the thing doesn't bend and fall over
to front or back when you put equipment in it, right?  So maybe (since
MOTMs are really pretty light) it would be enough just to weight the base 
down instead.

in love with lead bricks,
