[Collins] Stacking the S-Line

Mon, 13 Oct 2003 00:45:22 +0000

I have stacked units in the past and have reversed the as you have 
suggested. Actually, I had no risers on the bottom units and risers in the 
rear of the top units. The top ones tipped forward and seemed more 
accessible from a seated position. John
