While doing this I noticed that the wires for the ladder to raise and lower the platform was pulled away from the box and frayed. I repaired the cable going into the box and remounted the switch. I also replaced the power strip that was on the ladder with a unit I found in the control room as the power strip had a strong electrical smell as if it may have been over heating. ___end___ ONSITE STAFF: mcotter
