Retrofitting a 1986 Maho MH400E

Still waiting for my last cable/adapter order so nothing done the last few days, too.
Yes, a couple of days after I had bought the 400E I "accidentally" bought a 400C (4th Axis) as sole bidder on ebay. I'd like to sell because of the limited space in my shop, but I not necessarily will till it is a really nice machine.

ATX-PSU: One separate for both cards, EXE and MESA.

LS403: of course, I could send you a read head of the 400C, but as already stated, this won't solve anything as the axis works fine with a different EXE. So read head and scale should be ok.

I don't know when my machine will be ready to run, but we could do things the other way round.
Mark, you could send me your EXE and I'd check a few things !?.
That your ATX did not work, I cannot explain. You properly interconnected grounds/minus ?
Generally they are designed to reliably power mainboards and provide x times more current than you really need.

Shop getting crowded and limited space ? I feel your pain + one. Started with one MH600E that has a straight/flat table and few days later noticed another MH600E that has B axis. Then a few more days later saw a MH600E2 that has 20 tool tool changer and the next series Indramat servo drives. Spent most of that summer to beginning of fall dragging the three machines back to my 2 car shop. My thinking for the two MH600E machines was spare parts and the B axis . My thinking for the MH600E2 ? It just looked lonely !
Now I am trying to get heat and electrical power an lighting into the garage-shop .Also need to rig up a 3 phase 380 volt power supply as most homes in the US are only single phase 220 / 120 volt. They just don't trust us with 3 Phase power.

Your note on github: of only authorized users can modify content of a project sounds great.
Hope the parts order shows up sooner than you expected.

B-Axis+spare parts, exactly what I thought when bidding.

@Mark:
The ATX PSU's voltage tolerances according to specs is 5% which equals to 4,75-5,25 V and 11,4-12,6V an should be the same that MAHO requires.
I would try to power the EXE with the PC's PSU again.

Everyone thinks I am crazy for buying a 1.2 ton unservicable mill. I can imagine your relatives and friends trying to get you committed for buying three

I think I can top that.
I bought a fork lift to be able to unload and move my machines.
I just wanted to be independent from my neighbour with his tractor
My lathe weights 4.5t. That was really crazy to get it into position using two pallet trucks. ....welcome to this madhouse

A forklift. Nice. My basement is too low for anything like that. I moved my lathe in on ion bars.
