Apollo Guidance Computer Part 16: Digging into potted module B11
We dig into potted module B11 in an attempt to repair the erasable memory section. We already know the core memory stack B12 is broken, and potted. We gave up on a direct repair of that one. But now we have to deal with the current switch module B11, also potted. For this one, there might be a possibility of repair. If we can remove the potting it without breaking it further and find the faults inside, that is.
