Check out http://www.shadowcnc.com

They make a Bandit retrofit controller. They also have a Shizouka retrofit
listed for sale on their web site.
I'm not sure of the cost, but if all they have to do is install the new
control & tune it, you may get by inexpensively. They don't list prices on
the web site, if you call them let us know how they are. I have a
Bridgeport here with a Bandit & two extra control boxes for spare parts & I
have to decide soon if I want to make it work as is, or upgrade the
controller. I'm not convinced yet that the EMC is the way to go, & I know
that there are a couple of DOS options that will be easier for me to setup &
maintain. Also I would like to use the motors & resolvers in place, just
have electrical hookup & software tuning to get this machine into usable
condition.

Then there's that 8 inch rotary indexer sitting over in the corner......
