 This did complicate things a bit, but did solve the problem I knew I had with one, and made one other work much smoother. ​ This did complicate things a bit, but did solve the problem I knew I had with one, and made one other work much smoother. ​

-KE5C made a series of photos detailing how to get to the encoder board and replace an encoder (http://​www.ve7tk.com/​Orion%20RIT%20Encoder%20Replacement.pdf). This is a very good starting point. I've listed some details I had to deal with replacing them all. 
  
 One additional thing I ran into: The VFO A and B encoder shafts pass through a bearing. The knob screws had been tightened down so tightly, that a '​nick'​ was left on the shafts; large enough to not allow it pass through the bearing. I had to polish this down to get these encoders out. One additional thing I ran into: The VFO A and B encoder shafts pass through a bearing.
