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.
