Not had a chance to do much to either the Bridgeport or the Conect but I do have some progress. I managed to get the servo drive cabinet fitted, made the housing for the integrated computer/touch screen and have a hinging plate in the back for the SS/BOB/Pokeys etc. Also have the PoKeys Keyboard fitted and the trackball. Have to wire all the top electronics up and also fit the hard drive to the back of that hinging plate. Will be adding some switches to the front just above the keyboard.
I got a small servo that was going to be perfect for the X but unfortunately the encoder was cracked so I will have to see if I can manage to fit an encoder, not looked but I think shaft sizes will be different but it should fit inside the current housing on the end of the motor.
Heres a few pics of what I have done to date.
