So here is my weekly blond moment question.

I had to replace a few lights under the glass "beehive" lenses on my IIA. It seemed like the only way to get the lens off was to pull, so pull I did.

The glass came off of the rubber seal/ring with just a little effort; but now I don't see an easy way to get it back in there.

Did I just ruin the lights?!? The green bible says to use a small screwdriver to re-fit the glass into the rubber, but I don't think it's gonna work.

Ugh... nevermind. After tinkering around with it, I realized that I was trying to fit the lens into the seal that was for the chrome ring... and not the inner seal for the light.

Sorted. As I said, Blond moment.
