    Hi Adam

    what Geckodrive stepper drivers do you have ? the photos not clear enough to read the model number

    What control software are you using Mach 3 ????
    ( looking in the ports & pins you can see what functions have been assigned to the pins so you can wire the controller the same as before)

    what PC are you using ?

    assuming your machine connected to the PC's parallel printer port
    its possible that the wires where connected directly to a 25 pin D-type plug

    but I would use a breakout board & 5V power supply to buffer the outputs from the printerport and make the connections easier and avoid soldering to a 25 pin plug

    if thats a 12V fan next to the stepper drivers you are missing a 12V power supply

    PS
    is this the stepper drivers in your control box ?

    do the two solid state relay switch the spindle & dust extractor ON & OFF

    with no control of the spindle speed
    some thing like CNC4PC's
    C10 break out board should do all what you need
