I REALLY pity the poor guy that bids on this, thinking it is a late-model
CNC control, and then finds out how ANCIENT it is. I know that A-B
wouldn't give a caller the time of day about a Bandit, they bought them out
to get it off the market, and they no longer support their own gear of a
much later vintage. I'm amazed to see they say it works, as most of these
died 15 years ago!
