Time for a bit of an update:
The replacement PC is now mounted in the enclosure with suitable metal work to suspend it in place and present a fair face to the outside world by way of an escutcheon plate.
I've made and fitted a replacement for the headstock end panel keeping fingers out of belts

I've made a replacement for the lubrication pump access door
All await painting, but that will be done when the entire machine enclosure can be dismounted and sand blasted
The machine is working well and I've today been experimenting with the G76 threading cycle. The machine obeys the Fanuc dialect of G code and the G76 command (which occupies two lines of code) is one of the more complex ones with loads of parameters to tweak.
Net result: today I've made some of the most expensive and time consuming M6 brass hex bolts ever

Please excuse the swarf on the pictures of the bolt

The sliding front cover / door is obviously not the original, and whoever started making this one made a reasonable job of it but never finished, so there is no provision for a lower slider. I've various bits on order to make not only the slider arrangement but also to insert a better sized window (in 6 mm polycarbonate)
(I've a video uploading to Youtube that I'll link in when it's finished)
