Subject: RE: AUL canister light / light cord
Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 10:02:24 +0100

I did a similar repair on a light (AUL Spectrum 100, I think) and replaced
the
lead as a matter of course because salt water had corroded the wire, making
soldering
the leads a real pain.

Probably not your problem in this case, but when I undid the compression
fittings, I replaced the o-rings.

The other thing that may have happened is that you broke the glue seal where
the
fitting goes into the canister or light slug. When I was doing the repair, I
was pretty anal and instead of trusting myself not to dislodge them, I took
them out,
cleaned them and reglued them.
