Would love to just chat a bit, especially interesting would be if you
retrofitted one with a new control.

I'm currently consulting with a fella to refit one to Camsoft. Strictly a
consult by phone and email job for me.

He sold the old amps. Then used the money to buy AMC servo amps off ebay.
They are top of the line and sell for peanuts. They need 0 - 10 volt from
computer, nothing else. Encoder goes to control and control software does
everything. I think EMC works the same.
