[TenTec] ORIONII_INTERNAL_AT_TUNER

[Grant Youngman]

It may not be the same tuner.  I haven't opened my II to look at the boards.

According to the information mill, T-T dropped the relationship with LDG
(who supplied the Orion tuners) and is supposedly building their own for the
II.  Unconfirmed, however.
