Just moving the swarf conveyor into place took four of us and that with machine skates. Rob :No need for machine envy until (if) I get it working - up to that point it's a potential liability. To be honest it's a bit scary contemplating turning it on - certainly don't want to until I know a bit more about the controller, and how to disable the (enormous) axis drives - don't want things slamming around and self destructing. Vtsteam: memory back up on the controller is by built in battery pack - seems boot memory is in eeproms, but I've not dug too deeply yet Fortunately I have a floppy disk with the machine parameters in a win readable file which is a major bonus |

My first job would be to back that floppy up! Nice looking machine - that mess of electronics would scare the life out of me :) |

Well if you don't manage to get it running it will make a decent pig pen.......................................... |
