Computers are cheap. check all your old ones.

Thanks Chris, you're right, I've probably got something laying about that I can use.

looks like they used AMC drives...

They could be one of three or four different ones used, depending on when it was actually built and if it was ever upgraded after needing a drive replacement. AMC drives were used at the end when the others had dried up. Could be Contraves, too, or even Motion Control or PacSci. Easiest way is to take a pic but either way you should be fine. One of the guys that installed and worked on them is a personal friend and still has toms of knowledge and records on them, so you're not stranded in any way. He's been helping me keep our CNC Bridgy running for almost 15 years.

The drives are CMC (Cleveland Motion Controls?) p/n MHB12020-00

i was think on doing the same for a 1999 version do you have the altered wiring diagram so i can look at what you have done thank you
