When you have a game open, with playfield up, you often get contacts
that by weight alone when in normal operating position doing stuff you
don't want.  That is the glory and not so glory of EMs.  Learn to gap
properly and clean and you will be miles ahead of those that don't get
it.  Yes, its magic dust, pixie at times but worth the learning curve.
Keep on keepin' on.
