Re: Where to find CNC machines with dead controls?

Yes, and BE PREPARED to MOVE the unit ASAP !!!

once you find a guy with one who is willing to let it go, he may
mention it to a friend and it may be gone if you wait a few days.

Go see it, with some cash for a depost or the whole amount.

and take some pictures and make sure you verify what comes with it.

Some guys might want that DRO if they have it in the shop a few days.
or switch some part or another.
