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.

Regards

Andrew
