Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Allen Bradley NC Controller

Hi Doug

That control might be worth something in another respect. Many of the older
NC controls had large card cages with many plug in circuit boards. These
boards had fairly heavy gold plating on the contacts and in the sockets on
the backplane and elsewhere. We scrapped out two controls a few years ago,
one being a GE, can't remember what the other was but the total was well
over $200 from a local electronic scrap recycler.
