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

[Michael Tortorella]

Hi Gary,

 

Do you know where I can get some of the TaikoDenki TMP-K01X-A1 plugs that mate with the on-board connectors in the Orion?

 

Thanks and 73, Mike W2IY

Hi Ralph! So good to hear from you again.

 

I am asking $50 plus $5 shipping for the boards. I have one set aside for you.
