Here is the report that I filed with Mihir after my investigation of the Coral interlock: Mihir: I've taken a look at this and believe that the problem is NOT with the Coral box. The reason that the orange light on the interlock box wasn't on or the Coral "ON" light didn't turn on was that the interlock box (which is powered by the microscope power supply) was getting no power. Why? Because the fuse in the microscope power supply was blown. My belief is that something is wrong in the microscope light assembly itself. My guess is that there is either a short in the projector bulb or something in the bulb socket assembly is shorting to ground. Here is what I did to test things: 1. Got replacement fuses ... this thing uses 2.5 A fast fuses in the 5 mm by 20 mm size that are stocked in Physics Stores. The little fuse holder beneath where the power plug goes has room for both the fuse in use and a spare. There is currently a good fuse AND a spare. 2. With Coral disabled, I could power this up, which then caused the orange light on the interlock box to come on. However, as soon as I tried to enable the tool to turn on the microscope light, it promptly blew the fuse. 3. I replace the fuse and repeated the experiment ... but this time I left the projector bulb assembly pulled out of the box. In this case enabling caused the "ON" light to come on and doesn't blow the fuse. Of course it doesn't turn the microscope light on either because of the interlock in the microscope light controller that removes power from the bulb when the light assembly is pulled out. This leads me to believe that there is a short in the lamp itself or in the socket. So, your problem is not fixed, but I believe that it is back in your court and likely caused by either a failed bulb or a bulb socket problem.

It turned out that the bulb socket was broken, and the fuse at the power plug was blown out. We replaced the socket and the fuse, but cascade is not available until Sunday, as the high temperature glue Jim put in there for wire connections needs a day to completely dry out. I will do a final check tomorrow afternoon to see if everything works properly, and send an email to the list, so please stay in tuned. Even though cascade is not shut down on coral right now, all users should avoid using the tool until the final check of the lamp box is done. Thanks for your understanding!
