Gentle persons: This is a long shot, but your collective knowledge seems inexhaustible.
A long-time (ca. 35 years and counting) friend has gone and bought himself a Gorton MasterMil 1-22 vertical mill that he estimates was manufactured in the 1960s. He tells me it's in very good mechanical condition (but he's on the wrong coast so I've seen only pictures). He's already making parts with it manually. I hope to convince him to consider at least a 2-axis CNC conversion using EMC2 once he gets settled with it, but he's determined to restore its original powerfeed first. The "infinitely variable" powerfeed on this beast was an option-at-purchase called Dyna Drive that for his model is vacuum tube-driven. The electronics appear to be kaput. Web searches have coughed up scans of the operator, technical, and parts manuals for this model mill, but he has been luckless so far in finding any technical details about the optional Dyna Drive. If anyone has any hints, please email me directly so we don't clog up the list. Thanks in advance, Kent ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
