I have had both Orion and Orion II .Had to replace display in the Orion caps in
power supply , power cord connection. The Orion II just the caps on the power
supply board. Both great radios especially on 160 meter they are awesome!
I’m going the other way ! Back to the Drake R4C with major mods .hihi It
seems like all high end radios are having some sorts of problems.
Parts and repair I think will be a huge expense for micro soldered boards .
I think you will be able to get most of parts for the Orion’s just hope
yours doesn’t become the parts donning Radio ! All brands have this issue!
