	OK....My Mac II power up problem is getting stranger all the time....

	When I am not using my Mac II, I turn it off, remove all the cables, and
lock the Mac II in a secure storage cabinet until I return the next day. The Mac II sits in the storage cabinet with the floppy drive slot facing down.
	When I return the next day, I plug in all the cables, and the Mac II will 
not turn on at all with the Mac II sitting horizontally. If I turn the Mac II
on it's side (the side opposite the reset and interrupt switches) the Mac II
will power right up with the power on switch.
	I can then put the Mac II horizontal again ( CAREFULLY while it is booting up) and the Mac II will power up and down correctly all day long. When I return 
the next day and take the Mac II out of storage again, the whole story repeats
itself.
	I know this sounds strange, but it IS what's happening, and YES, all\
power cables are OK and NOT intermittant with position etc.      
	Can anyone even attempt to explain this??
