I'm doing a retrofit of a 2001 chevalier with a heidenhain control that looks very similar to the anilam control. It has a all in one servo unit. That is dead. From a power strike.. You can get boards from Germany for them. I'm using chinese servos and drives and a vfd for the spindle. But I'm just learning so don't copy me lol.
But the machines are fine. Mine has a spindle chiller and all the bells and whistles.
