RFI shields. Was: Star Wars power

I've been operating all of my games without the RFI shield that are referred
to below. Can anyone offer a reason why they should be used in the home
environment?

Incidently, back when I first fixed my Star Wars (and AR2) I posted that
my card interconnect board (the thing between the wire harness and the
game boards) didn't deliver both +5v lines to the board. No one answered
back that this was common or a fluke, but anyone with a SW might want to
check this, if they haven't. I put a jumper wire through the via hole, so
both +5 lines are now in use.

Other than twice the current capacity, you now won't blow your AR2 if one
of the pins stops making contact.
