Just a final quick update. Finished installing the PowerPole connector
yesterday afternoon and made a new cable that now runs directly to the power
supply. No flicker or problems and I swear the O2 is working much better. Was
tedious going through all those little screws and getting it all back together.
Good to have pictures and notes - can't remember how things go, and can't see
so well up close anymore - ha! Getting older isn't for the faint.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions. 73, Rod/w7zrc

I ordered the little plates to mount the power pole connectors on the back of
the Orion. Any suggestions on the process of installing the power poles that
way would be appreciated and for bypassing the fuse.
Thanks again and 73, Rod/w7zrc

I agree, it looks pretty flimsy, so think I will bypass and use a different
fuse.

take a gander at that little fuse holder while you are in there….kinda puny in
my observation.
when I redo my Oroin 1, I will bypass that fuse holder with a big fuse holder
on a new power cords pigtail.
