Genuine interest... why not a TVS/MOV device? (I can guess at tolerance/variance at the switching voltage - but that is just a guess).

Yes, usually the combination of the limited number of nominal voltages and the tolerance. They aren't too bad actually but you may struggle to find a voltage that is much above 36V but safely below the max allowable voltage for the drive. I'd be more confident in MOV than a TVS but that probably won't make much difference here. They are both deadly fast, so speed isn't an issue.

Gosh I am out of date. Mind you, the power feed I am rewiring uses a DIAC for the speed control so I am not completely passed it

Yes, I remember them. Presumably used in the gate of a triac or scr, then. That dates the controller, as that threshold function has been built into triacs for many years now. I'd guess 1980s, most likely.

1980's? Warco sold it as new

Perhaps an SCR drive then, as SCRs don't have a 30V threshold on them. But even so, the market for diacs is very limited these days.
What's it driving? Is it a triac or an SCR?

SCR that's the beastie, my ageing brain has obviously succumbed to the barrage of transient ischaemic attacks.
Fortunately, I can still understand how the circuit works even if I can no longer name the individual components

Motors and PSU have arrived, I wasn't actually expecting them before 10/1/21
Look great, comfortably heavy.
I read the manual and just when I thought it must be reaching the bit about the USB connection it suddenly stopped, repeated itself in German and ended.
Guess you aren't supposed to use that part

Good luck mate.
Upto about 100$ some steppers are ok for better stuff.
After that, ac brushless servos are the right choice - about 5-7x better by every possible measure.
About the same money, all-in.
Lets see how it works out for you.
