Ventilation and stacking of BA's

Hi all,

My Apache died a couple of weeks ago and got around to repairing it this morning. A bad 5R4GY was the cause. I suspect that a contributing factor to this was, because of limited space in the shack,  that I have to stack my SX-100 on top of my Apache. I am sure the Apache builds up excess heat in the cabinet. It does not have an internal fan as I have seen on some Apaches. 

I know I should provide some means of ventilation, but not quite sure of the best means. I have also thought about going solid state in the PS to reduce heat in the cabinet.

Any suggestions?

tnx es 73
