Thanks Les,

I wish there were more of these around. then there would be a users
group and such.

But, alas, at this point, I do not have a manual.

I am hoping to get one that will guide me thru the pendant operations
as well as the maintence schedule and such. There are two rows of DIP
swithces for setting something.... one is labled FONT.... who knows ?

And it looks like there will be one to cover software and interfaces.
it has both a parallel and serial interface.

In the quick review. there is no rust on the rails, but it appears
they did a lot of wood on the machine. there is wood dust everywhere
in it.

If anyone is designing a machine, this is a beautiful model to use.
it has three display of 5 digits each. Since the travel is less than
24 inches in any direction, that would presumably be 2 whole numbers
and 3 digits.

I just found out I will need a couple collets. it has the very common
15/64's in it. (yeah right) so I need to get a 1/4 and a 1/8th. I'm
not looking forward to either the price nor the availability of those.

Very interesting find.
