 on the motor it says transducer 10 would that mean its a 10 V motor the model # is Baldor Big mho MTE 4070 fl 5b, i tried to look it up on the web but i couldn't find any info on it.

The Pixe interface looks good would you need just one these or one for each axisis

 Thanks that's exactly what i was looking for on the schematic i think it shows a 5V DC so i will look for a Battery around here in that voltage.

the machine is a 1988 lagunmatic with a dynapath control right now i would be happy to just jog the tables so i can inspect and clean everything up the machine has just sat in a shop for about 2 years with out running there were no manuals for it, i tried to call dynapath for some info but as i said they were not to helpfull and stated it would cost about $2,500.00 just to replace one board or repair it i find that a lot of money for a few micro chip's.
  i can look at the drives to see if there is any info on them if it helps thanks for the info on the skyco i will take a look this is why i asked if how to move the servo motor's can i take the 5V or ground to step and direction to get the motor's to run.

don't know i will have to trace out the wiring to find out, if the drives control the motors which is my thinking then i should be able to give them a command for step and direction aren't they the same as stepper motor's is manner?

 when you say where do the encoders go do you mean the contol head with the screen because there are motor controls but i suspect they are just the tipicle jog control.

it looks like the encoders are on the end of the servo motors the wiring schmatic leads me to think the wires go to the drive's.

well i found a schematic for the servos and it say's encoder's on encoder blue print it shows +5 then ground next the letter b with a - over it then b next the letter M with a - over the letter then the letter M then a with a - over it and the letter A and all the color codes for each.
