While Paul Valko <w8kc@comcast.net> was getting pictures of the Orion at the
factory, I got this picture of a beta tester checking out the user's manual.

>Ok, the truth has to be told. I actually got to see the Orion a couple weeks
>ago when I paid an unannounced visit to the factory.
>
>You see there was this wonderful story-telling festival in Pigeon Forge that
>weekend. Pigeon Forge is just up the road from Sevierville. My kids wanted to
>swim at the swanky hotel we were staying at, and my dear wife was happy to sit
>by the pool and read her trashy romance novels. This combination of fortuitous
>events enabled me to sneak down to Ten*Tec for a look-see around.
>
>Scott was away that Friday - out to the East Coast for the big DX contest.
>That left poor Stan to try and entertain me while fielding orders for the
>Jupiter. While Stan was on the fone busy selling Jupiters, I had free run of
>the factory!
>
>I hastily grabbed all the engineering documentation I could on the Orion, and
>took a few snapshots of the assembled prototype. Heh Heh!!! I'm so clever ;-)
>
>Here ya go folks : http://mywebpages.comcast.net/w8kc/orion_mod_page.html
>
>Boy I hope that worked. It's the first time I've tried anything with the new
>Comcast system. Just don't overload the Comcast webservers with thousands of
>hits!
