## Discrepancy

CLT - FLT 1009 - AFTER TAKEOFF FROM CLT, AT APPROXIMATELY 7,000 FEET, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT REPORTED TO THE FLIGHT CREW A STRONG ELECTRICAL ODOR IN THE MID AND AFT CABIN.  NO SMOKE WAS NOTED.  CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND RETURNED TO THE FIEDL AT CLT.  FLIGHT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  ODOR WAS GONE BY THE TIME AIRCRAFT REACHED THE GATE.  MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE NR 3 VIDEO MONITOR.  OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD.  REMOVED MONITOR WAS REPORTED TO SMELL OF HOT CIRCUITRY.  (M)
