[TenTec] ten tec orion 2 not booting up

[denton sprague]

nothing like success on the first try!
suspected a bulging cap on the power distribution board and there it was daring me to touch it…nice round top…

the same board in the O 1, which has fresh electrolytic caps, worked fb in the O 2 so am a happy camper.

fortunately got some of the recommend replacement electrolytic caps leftover from repairing an older O 1 will press into service to repair the pulled board.

now if only can brighten up the dim display on the O 1 a bit more….playing with the contrast a tad helps but still it is a bit dim.
