newbie question on contrasts and aov

Notice  `SPKType III Sum of Squares'.  I don't believe your contrasts are 
orthogonal, and R's are sequential sum of squares.

Also, are you sure these are the same contrasts?  I presume this is
contr.sdif from MASS (in which case it is churlish not to credit it), and
SPSS's contrasts look more like Helmert contrasts from their labelling.

Since it appears all your treatments are within subjects you do seem to be 
making life difficult for yourself. Although I would have done a simple 
fixed-effects analysis, applying summary.lm to the bottom stratum would 
give you simple t-tests for each contrast, including actual estimates of 
the magnitudes.
