Hi,

I am expecting to replace the full gubbins, but have the spindle and other parts serviced. Allthough, if the servoes do work, it will be a bonus. If i have read the spindle paperwork correctly ( fast browse, will read through later ), it will go from 1500 - 20k+, so should be capable of doing some stone, engraving at least, idealy, be able to surface a gravestone and engrave it.

i was sort of hoping to do the full re-fit, for around 3 or 4k at the most. If the servos and drives need replacing, they dont have to be industrial grade as its not going to be the main machine or running more than a few hours a day, ( am building that ), i just thought its a very good large machine base to start with, as long as the rails arnt bent,

I suupose a good question for me to ask advise on is

what would you check if you was going to have a look at a large machine of this type., apart from screws and rails. Am not sure there is power were it is so i might have to take a Jenny down there or rent one, any advice welcome
