[Gary Follett]

For those who have a burning desire to change to Power Poles but can’t fit them to their boards,  I have half a dozen of the boards that can  accept that upgrade.

It appears necessary to loosen the back plate of the O2 in order to work on the soldering of the MOLEX on the board just inside the back plate.  New territory for me.
