OK had a chance to do a little more research. There are various versions of this board but its possible that it takes the 240v AC and rectifies this to provide the DC for the spindle so be careful how you relocate this into the new box as there could be 340v DC on that board.

Personally I'd get a new 36v power supply for the steppers as the new drivers can handle it and you'd get speed/torque benefits.

My thoughts exactly (replacement that is) to be honest.

As I said, I've worked out where the X,Y,Z etc go and the power but still don't quite understand how to wire up the spindle, does that require a seperate PSU as the ebay sellers are as useless as tits on a bull when it comes to answering questions, and how does one work out which wire from let's say X goes in to where on the steppers. I've tried I think every combination in to A+ A- B+ B- but can't get movement so frustration is creepin' in now
