(ET) e12 wierd problem

[neil <wombat dssinternet net>]

I just dropped the front panel on the e12, looking to see what was 
causing "no motor run" sometimes, things look ok BUT for whatever 
reason, if I tilt the panel to about 45 deg  the motor quits, put it 
back to vertical and stays off.  put the control back to neutral and 
restart and it runs.  I'm wondering if that big contactor on the panel 
may be "weak" and can't hold in when it's tipped toward horizpntal - 
usually sit with the coil horizontal, contact vertical.

any thoughts ?
