arf arf...

mine's often (mis)behaving in a similar fashion. A quick but dirty 
solution is to switch on the (Ribbon) Hold button so the transmitted 
value doesn't suddenly drop to zero whenever the contact is a bit 
flakey but remains at the last correctly read value. 

also i have found that cleaning the strip from time to time also 
helps. my guess is that it is constantly soaking up sweat, dust and 
other gooey particles from my fingers. this may not even be visible 
but stll affect play. well, that's my theory anyway...
