Re: Good used CNC Controllers for sale

Ed,
I do have parts for a lot of the Centroid stepper controllers since we
manufactured them under license after Centroid switched over to only servo
systems - I am, however, unfamiliar with the keyboard you list - The systems
using keyboards that I know about should accept just about any PC compatible
keyboard -

If the one you are looking for is one of the "membrane" keyboards, why not
just switch to a standard one - I did this long ago and they are so cheap
(inexpensive) that you can just throw them away if they get too much shop
junk in them - On the other hand, I've never had to throw one away and
believe me, my shop is a long ways from being super clean -

Let me know if I can be of further help

Hi Roland
