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.
