Yes, a Bridgeport Boss control already has at least 2 ballscrews and
axis drives. If you can live with (huge) steppers and resolution of .001"/step
on the earlier ones, then these are ready to retrofit with a new control
and stepper drives. This basically means no mechanical construction
or searching for ballscrews, motors, etc. These machines with a dead
control are almost useless, and often go for very low prices.
