Cool machine Tommy.... nice job.
Thank you, Bob.
That was the first big retrofit and it had all the complicated stuff coupled with a dead computer and controller, so it took a while to figure out over 600 wires ! Luckily almost half of them were GND. Finished it in 2 weeks, working evenings and nights as it was in an industrial estate.
Andy, PCW and Todd helped a lot, so thank you all.
The thing weighs over 5 tons !
