## Discrepancy

TWO TIMES WITHIN TWO WEEKS FOUND ACK TECHNOLOGIES ELT'S, MODEL ACK E01, INOPERABLE.  ON DISASSEMBLY, FOUND THE D-CELL BATTERIES, TERMINALS, AND  CIRCUIT BOARD CORRODED.  TERMINALS AND CIRCUIT BOARDS WERE CLEANED, NEW BATTERIES INSTALLED, BUT THE ELT WAS STILL INOPERABLE.  CAUSE - BAD SEALING.
