To be honest I've had to refrain my self from saying RIP IT OUT so I'm pleased to see you have seen the light for your self.

A retrofit will transform the machine into a different beast but be under no illusions it won't be a simple swap over and you will have to write some Macro routines for it to operate with all the features it currently as. You won't find a Plug n play controller.!

I wish you had said!!!

Just so I can get my head around this a little more...Are we talking major surgery and replacement of other parts (it does appear to all be working) or will it be 'just' the controller?

Can't honestly say without seeing more of what's under the covers. Depends on the motors and drives mostly. Could be anything from Steppers to AC servos.
They will most likely be DC servos or if your lucky AC servos but what type of signals the drives expect is what could make the difference. If they accept Step & Dir then your laughing but I'd be very surprised if a machine this old used Digital signals and I'd expect they will use +/-10v Analog signals which complicates thing slightly and limits your choice of controllers, it also bumps the costs up.!

Start your Thread, pull the covers off so we can see exactly what electronics and motors are on it.
