[TenTec] Orion 1 Back panel problem. Help!

I'm dumb!

The Orion was operating perfectly until, it had a complete input power 
failure.  It turned off instantly.  I found the 25 Amp fuse holder which 
is rated at 15 Amps had failed. The holder burned in to a melted plastic 
mess.

I took the back panel off, and removed the PC board.  While removing the 
board I took a picture of the wire connections that were solder 
attached.  I unplugged all of the numbered cable connections.  Since Ten 
Tec always stencil the cable numbers next to the jack I didn't take a 
pic of the numbers and locations.

I went to Ten Tec and picked up a under-rated fuse holder and installed 
it.  Putting things back together I re soldered all of the wires I had 
documented with the pic.  Then, I noticed there are no connector numbers 
stenciled on the PC board!

I looked through the Orion 1 book.  No documentation.

Does anyone have a drawing or image of the numbered coax connections to 
the circuit board mounted on the back panel plate of the Orion 1?

I appreciate the help on this.  Thanks and 73
