Ventilation and stacking of BA's

[Keith Rowland]

I don't think a bad 5R4GY's heat would be  a factor here.  If there is
even a half-inch of space between the unit below and the unit above, I
don't think that would be a factor either. I beleve your 5R4GY just
finally wore out.

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.
