Replace, no discussion! Been there ..... I had tried to use my drives / motors etc. Remove the variance when things dont work and the older stuff is not as good or reliable.

It costs more but you will have a better / more modern machine.

I may be able to provide some other kit too if interested (motors etc), let me know if interested.

Thanks Chaz,

Hmm, so I've spent a bit of this morning pulling out the old boards and drives. Looks like I'm going for a retrofit. What system did you go for? I'm thinking cslabs, they seem a bit more expensive, but also more robust?

Yep, CS Labs. There is a full thread on my retrofit on this forum ... dont have the link at hand now but its around. Look for Triac VMC.
