[TenTec] Orion PLL Problem

[Gary J FollettDukes HiFi]

ED, you do need to do the things that have been previously described to you on the power distribution board and the battery replacement.

If these do not solve your problem, I have a known good synthesizer board so all is not lost.

Hope you got it cheap, but it’s not even close to “brick” status yet.
