## Discrepancy

SMELLS LIKE ELECTRICAL SMOKE COMING FROM OVERHEAD VENT NEAR ROW 17.  FOUND FLOUR BULB CONTACTS BURNED AT ROW 18 RIGHT SIDE.  REPLACED BALLAST AT ROW 17 FOR LAMPS 17-18 RIGHT SIDE.  REPLACED FWD LAMP HOLDER DUE TO SAME BEING BURNED.  NEW BULB AND SHIELD INSTALLED.  OPS CKS GOOD, (BELIEVE HOLDER WAS SOURCE OF SMOKE, BALLAST CHANGED AS PRECAUTION.)
