Re: [TenTec] Factory View of Orion Encoder Failure

[Martin AA6E <aa6e@ewing.homedns.org>]

If it failed again, it probably wasn't really fixed the first time. 
Sounds like some kind of intermittent contact (internal hairline break 
on the foil?) that is temporarily helped by heating & cooling.  Or maybe 
it's just the general mechanical tweaking you have to do to get access 
to the board.
However, it could be worth trying for my RIT problem.
