[TenTec] Orion 2 Screen Issue

[Steven Kline]

Hi Barry - VK2BJ,

Late last year I made available my ORION II as a parts radio to Gary Follett W0DVN at dukeshifi at comcast.net <mailto:dukeshifi at comcast.net>.  Screen was perfect.  Might want to check with Gary and see if he still has some parts available.  Wouldn’t hurt.

Hope this helps, good luck.  Still keeping my 565 Orion running.

Cheers - Steve K. W5JK
