I'm dumb!

The Orion was operating perfectly until, it had a complete input power failure. It turned off instantly. I found the 25 Amp fuse holder which is rated at 15 Amps had failed. The holder burned in to a melted plastic mess.

I took the back panel off, and removed the PC board. While removing the board I took a picture of the wire connections that were solder attached. I unplugged all of the numbered cable connections. Since Ten Tec always stencil the cable numbers next to the jack I didn't take a pic of the numbers and locations.

I went to Ten Tec and picked up a under-rated fuse holder and installed it. Putting things back together I re soldered all of the wires I had documented with the pic. Then, I noticed there are no connector numbers stenciled on the PC board!

I looked through the Orion 1 book.  No documentation.

Does anyone have a drawing or image of the numbered coax connections to the circuit board mounted on the back panel plate of the Orion 1?

I appreciate the help on this.  Thanks and 73
