[TenTec] New parts available for the Orion and Orion II

[Ralph Covington]

Hello Gary,
I would like to acquire one of the boards. My Orion II with the TenTec 500 watts auto tune is my bread and butter. At age 85 (tomorrow) I don’t want a failed system.
vy 73,
Ralph/W7SK

I still have three or four functioning Orion synthesizer boards.
