[TenTec] Orion II Power Connector Replacement

[Rod Greene]

I agree, it looks pretty flimsy, so think I will bypass and use a different fuse.
Thanks and 73, Rod/w7zrc

take a gander at that little fuse holder while you are in there….kinda puny in my observation. 
when I redo my Oroin 1, I will bypass that fuse holder with a big fuse holder on a new power cords pigtail.

Solder the power cable directly to the board without the molex connector - or - do the power pole replacement? I'm leaning to the direct wire mod.
