Tim,
There must be a plate through involved with the RIT control. Mine started
acting up shortly after I bought my Orion in 2003. I eventually removed the
top and bottom covers and removed the 10 screws that held on the front
panel. I used my pencil soldering iron and re-heated the pins for the RIT
control. It worked fine until earlier this week when I pushed the knob to
reset it back to ZERO. Then it started acting up again. Yesterday, I went
through the same process again and now the control is working fine. Be
careful when re-heating the pins. 3 of them are close together.
You can do the repair by just laying the front panel on the knobs and do not
have to unplug anything. Good luck.

John

Subject: [TenTec] Orion 1 RIT problem
My Orion 1 has a problem wherein the RIT-XIT is intermittant or
inoperative.
I think this has been discussed here before but I'm unable to locate it.
