[TenTec] Orion 565 RIT XIT stopped working from front panel but works ok from POD.

[Reg Unsworth]

I had this problem until the rig went in for other work to be done (the 
usual replacement of C6, C7 and C9 on the power board).  On a previous visit 
they had been unable to trigger the intermittent fault.  However, as the 
fault became more permanent, they replaced inline components and pulled up 
resistor in the RIT control circuit, hard wired small sections of track 
involved and cleaned up the plug/sockets.  Since then it's been fine.

73.
