Thanks Ed, it is an oldie goldie tape reader. I want to get down to the ways and screws and see what they look like. It only has a 10 inch swing but it seems to ba a rigid little machine. Foot print is 4 1/2 feet by 8 feet and weighs 6500 Lbs. I'll be gutting it all and starting from scratch on the controls. Hopefully all the switches, motors, selonoids are good. I should be able to install a flat screen, PC, Smooth stepper, couple of BOB's, PLC for additional IO, and new motors and drives for the axis. I may have enough of that stuff allready.
Hood, at your age, you never know. Hope you last at least that long though.

Looks like something out of the Jetsons.

6500 lbs huh, so does that mean it will be a "Desk Top" lathe? That is gonna be a "Fun?" job...... Looking forward to the build Amigo.
