    Thanks Irving2008, I'm going to try to get the geckos in place over the weekend as I believe the attempted delivery today even though I only ordered on Monday from the states! I'll have to take a good look at the toolpost/spindle drive as there is defiantly only 230 going on, I guess maybe its an 3 phase inverter.

    I have attached a few pictures of the lathe, there not the best as my camera was going flat and I couldn't use the flash.

    Today I brought the electronic control box home and got the geckos out of their packaging. I was quite shocked how small they are but they seem to be excellent quality. Gecko shipped them very quickly, I received them within 3 days all the way from the US!

    Anyway I sat down with the control box and started working out what's what. I have identified the X and Z axis's on the slave board and also the drive supply. I has hoping to work out what voltage the steppers run at by measuring it from the drive supply connector but it seems it does not output any voltage when not connected.

    Does anyone happen to know what cables go to what on these steppers. If not can I just work it out by doing a continuity test?

    Heres a few pictures:
