As promised, I am reporting on my Original Orion Classic One... it came back from service last night.  The firmware remains v1.372.  It seems what I got was indeed the board mod in anticipation of v2.0.

Just a quick bit of dap for Ten-Tec service - I sent my rig off Tuesday 12/6.  Ten-Tec received it on Thursday 12/8.  When I called on Friday 12/9 to make sure they had gotten it it was already on the bench and they told me what was wrong with it.

Monday 12/12 it had finished the 24 hour burn in and was waiting final tests.  I got an email Tuesday 12/13 that it was all done.  It shipped out Wednesday 12/14 and I got it back last night, Friday, 12/16.  Ten days from door to door.  They got it on a Thursday and finished it the next Tuesday, 4 working days.

YMMV, but that is very impressive in my book and they deserve the credit.

UPS dropped it off around 1930 local - just a few minutes after I put KP5 in the log using the FT-920.  No damage.
