Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / Re: 1979 Shizoka retrofit project

I do have encoders dated 1979. That is how I know the machine is a 1979. I did plan on replacing them if I keep the DC servos. I can replace with a much higher resolution for better accuracy. When I get the machine in the garage, being it is still on my trailer, I need to power it up. Which I still need to get or make a rotary phase converter.
When I bought it the guy said the X axis stopped working so he unplugged it and the machine just sat. When it was running the X axis failed from worn out brushes. He replace the brushes and started having problems in the X. The controller started popping the fuse then he would replace and it would pop again etc, etc... and finally just stopped working.
When I put power to it I want to swap the cables with Y &X to see if the its the motor, driver or amplifier. I am not sure how to check though yet but the time will come. Or I just replace it all and not have to worry about it. I am in the planning stage right now.
Thanks again
