Thanks Jon. I like the idea of a tool changer. Yes, I was thing of
updating it with MACH3.

That would indicate the encoder is working correctly. If no display
change, then
it probably means the encoder has died, the cable is bad, or similar
problem. Possibly
a broken encoder coupling.
But, if the control can't even take a program download, it is going to
be a BIG
pain to use. You want to type IN all your G-code on the machine?
So, you may want to plan a retrofit from the beginning.
