Thanks for the responses. I figured it would probably work fine, but that +-15Vdc was a little funky. It makes sense per Andy's response and powering the OP-Amps, I suppose now they (magicians) do that piece on a chip or something.
As an off-topic side note, I noticed some 'interesting' wire gauge choices in the Anilam electrical box. In some places they'll have a larger gauge and just before that (say after the 20a filter), they'll have smaller gauge wire. It's like 2 different people chose the wire gauge or something got missed from the engineer to the assembly tech. Interesting to say the least!

I think the +/-15V is just the power for the op-amps. I would guess if works with higher control voltages by adjusting a gain pot for full output at different voltage inputs. I just figured it used +/-10VDC like my Crusader II mill does, and it worked out great. Roger Neal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ New Year.
