handed the lamp, take it to a controlled environment, then hand it back,
repaired, 24 hours later. Guaranteed satisfaction. Cost is much less than
what you quoted a few posts back. If you ski at Killington, Sugarbush or
Stowe, I'll fix it while you're on the hill. If you work for a company that
has any sort of fleet and a vehicle maintenance program, they probably
already know how to get in touch with us. Most don't advertise. If you don't
have a facility near you, I would be willing to 'walk you through' your best
repair attempt with the materials you have at hand...

Thanks, Jim.  I'm in Michigan.  I was going to try Mike Arman's Devcon
5-minute epoxy fix this weekend and report back to the list.  Of course, I'd
rather drive over to Vt and go skiing, but I've already put 2,000 miles on
the car in the past week and a half.
