These are very high quality servo motors, the same used on late-model
Bridgeport BOSS-7 and Ez-Trak machines.

I think this may have Westamp servo amps already in it, including the power
supplies. You should be able to hook up a servo-to-go card or my PPMC
cards to drive the servo amps, and read the encoders.
See http://pico-systems.com/PPMC.html for more info on my
servo card set.
