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.
