>>this particular sample has been thoroughly abused in environmental testing (including several unintentional & unfortunate CONDENSING temp & humidity runs - ever look into a chamber and see what looks like your product sitting in a cloud? Not fun). Months and tests later, the dirt or grime is easily visible on a lot of the mating surfaces and is not at all present on new samples.<<
My first EMC job out of the Army (in 83) was in doing audit testing of production equipment. I noticed early on that it tested better if we checked AFTER the shake test. This was probably due to the fact that the non-conducting stuff had all been worn off of mating surfaces by vibration.
