[TenTec] orion 2 / encoders

Mouser Electronics had (or used to have) an Orion II upgrade kit.
It included caps for the A9 power board, the battery, and a bunch of 
encoders. Can't find a single part number now for the package.

But the encoders are p/n 652-PEC11L 4225FS0015 as best I can read the 
small print.

The caps were used by K2KP to update my A9 board, though I seem to have 
some leftover as well. I have not used the encoders, though my RIT/XIT 
encoder doesn't work.

>> 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.
