wadkin ux2lc/c3 with bosh cc100 controller

[george uk]

I like to consider worst case scenario first, with when buying used stuff, and work back from there, i got the manual for the controller, managed to track down the manuals for both the spindle and the machine ( not orderd yet, just found ).

Am not sure the controller is capable of what i need, and it seems the only way to communicate with it ( is restricted to max 9600br,

The machine was allegedly working prior to removal so why would the screws be likely to be bent?

.

scrap dealers not machine dealers, might not of understood how carfull you have to loads these, and i wander why it ended up at there in the first place, instead of being sold in place.

Yes, scrap dealers selling, but that does not mean the machine is scrap. There could be many reasons for it being in a scrap yard. Often if a landlord or liquidator needs to clear a unit quickly it is the easiest way to sell. It would be quite difficult to lift that machine by the ballscrews, so I doubt if the are damaged!!! As i said before it cost about 1K to transport my SCM (£800+vat) using a lorry with hiab to enable both loading and unloading as we had no access to a forklift capable of handling 5 tonnes. Don,t worry about a bit of surface rust on the rails - just take a look at KingCreakies machine refurb - he ended up with "rusty rails looking like new. Be brave, try an offer of 1K and see how it goes!!! G.
