September 20th

Today was a trying day. When attempting to make the water line connections for the window the VCR seal fell off several times. Each time this happens the seal becomes stuck at the bottom of the containment box. While trying to replace the seal the nut slipped down the line to the bottom of the containment box. When trying to recover said nut with the pick tool it too fell to the bottom of the containment box. Due to the design of the containment box the only way to recover the pick is to remove the containment box (several other attempts were made with no luck). Before anyone asks no the pick cannot be left in the containment box. When attempting to remove the containment box one of the bolts for the shutter panel stripped. I then found the stud removing tool and have successfully removed the bolt. Isaac is now going to finish removing the containment box and that will be as far as we can get today. 

September 22nd 

- containment box removed
- dropped tool and seals removed from box
- containment box reinstalled
- window water lines done up
- target installed (with difficulties detailed below)

The threads for the middle tube heater connection (circuit D) appear to be damaged and the bolt in that location cannot be fully screwed in.  The bolt was removed and showed damage to the threads.

September 23rd

A leak check of the window line was completed (https://elog.triumf.ca/TIS/RH-ISAC/459) and several electrical checks of the coil with and without the target in place. The values for the electrical checks continued to fail the open circuit criteria, an elog on the testing will be reported tomorrow. Isaac and Maico removed the target so that the helicoil could be repaired. The helicoil was repaired by chasing the threads with a modified tap but it was noted during the repair that the bolt holding the line in place and come loose and was no longer clamping the tube heater and ceramic tight. The target was also checked electrically to confirm that the coil was not shorted to common. It showed a open circuit resistance with a ohmmeter.

It was then attempted to re-install the target but as the target was being lifted a cable for the tong motion schematic broke (A-11682). 

Currently the target is sitting in the hot cell with the manipulator still broken. We are attempting to find parts and instructions as to how to replace the cable.
