It seems to me that a few turns of duct tape around the rack would
retain them alright. We used rather similar tape back in the 50's to
retain some things on the fusilage surface when flight testing
supersonic aircraft.

Would it be
feasible to remove the skins and set it on its side (on
a quilt)?
Yes, that's my preferred way for transporting H9642's when they can't
be moved standing up. The quilt is there to protect your truck bed,
not the rack :-). Again, make sure the side panels don't blow away,
there's a pair of VAX 11/750 top panels *somewhere* along the side of the Santa
Monica freeway that disappeared once during a haul of mine...
I'll at least be transferring the plexiglass
tape drive window
to the Cipher I have for the Prime. BTW, I asked the seller to
check the rear plate of the TS05, thinking it *is* a Cipher F880
and he came back and said it has only a TS05 ID plate.
The front bezel is *identical* to the F880 streamer. Do you know
yea/nay on this?
Mechanically, they're identical except for the nameplates. There may
be slightly different firmware/electronics, but these vary depending on the
F880 rev level anyway.
