Many thanks to all who have responded! Things are indeed looking like we need some professional help, and Michael Herman is local-ish!

Will send a final update after we're operational!

Thanks!

Hi all, figured I should join and post to this group rather than the Gemini-2 now:

My club has recently obtained a G11 with Gemini-1 board shown here:?

We noticed it is completely missing the battery holder (and obviously battery), and the on/off switch is bad. After checking the board for other obvious issues, we jumped the switch and applied power, where the Hand Controller came to life, causing a big sigh of relief.

I do not have a photo of the board at hand, so do not know if the battery mods mentioned here??have been performed, or are even still relevant?

1. Can anyone point me to a proper battery holder to repair the board with, and which battery is currently suggested for use?
2. Are the battery mods above still appropriate?
3. Any other mods/issues we should be aware of to bring this board back into service?
4. The firmware is Level 4.something (don't recall without the HC at hand). What is the latest/bestest revision that ca/should be applied here?
5. Can anyone think of a reason the battery holder would have been removed?

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide! I am posting separately on the Losmandy users forum r.e. G11 tuneups.
