Serously, though the trouble with vertical mounting is that you can end up
with a high front panel. If you're motor driving, that can be irritating
unless you use gears or chain or drive belt, rather than direct end to end
connection. For my new amp, I have listened to what Rich said, and mounted
them vertical - and ended up with a 14 inch high front panel. I know many
commercial applications that have proved satisfactory with horizontal
mounting. My antenna tuning unit currently has one mounted horizontally -
been working fine for some years now.
