[TenTec] orion 2

[Ralph Covington]

Thanks Gary, but I’ll pass this time. Sorry to have taken up your time. My Orion II and Herc II are fb now. I’m 85 and I think they’ll be okay until I make the long trip.

There is a guy on eBay selling some he claims are original. They ar en to but they look to be correct other than the wrong color and brand.

I have some Bournes encoders that are new. I modify them because they come with detents, which you do to want. It takes 5 to 10 minutes each for me to do each so I need to get $15 each for them.

Once you go to the work to remove the encoder board, you might as well replace all of the encoders because it is a lot of work to get this board out. Also, you need a really good solder puller to get the old ones off the board. I generally cut the leads off the old encoders and remove each lead one-at-a-time, then clear the holes with the solder puller. Do NOT tug very hard on the pins, make sure the solder is fully melted or you will pull traces off the board and these are almost impossible to repair.

Let me know if you want mine or go searching for the ones on eBay.
