Gary
I have been following the post and I too have an Orion II with tuner that
should have the battery changed. By the sounds of your post it does sound easy
to do.
Might you post the battery numbers and a photo if possible. Is there any
precautions you might recommend? Does one loose user preferences when changing
the battery?
I have had mine since 2010 and love the machine and had very few problems.
Following these post has provided me with a wealth of knowledge thanks to the
generosity of some great hams.
Thank you
