Thanks everyone. The invoice for this drive is dated 07JUN2011. The drive was in use for most of that time with the step/dir from an extra ELS I had around. Saved cranking up/down with a handle that didn't fit well.
Last spring I started on the CNC conversion and I have a photo from mid April that shows pristine wires. Another photo from November that shows the white wire is already discoloured a bit. So it was during the period where I also had major rust issues for the first time in 10 years that this also happened. I recall seeing some white fuzz around the power wireson the Gecko a few weeks ago. I blew it off with the air compressor with full intentions of taking a closer look. But COVID-19 has distracted me and my attention has been less on the mill and more on the foundry with the construction of a pipe crucible lifter and pouring shank. Except when I've used the mill to cut some of the parts so the mill has had some use. I've sent detailed photos to Gecko. I don't want to clean up the board until I hear back from them in case they want to look at it more closely. Otherwise I have a couple of G320X units in stock so I can borrow a connector from there after I clean up the pins on the G213V. I pulled out the macro lens and ring flash setup for my Nikon for a close up on the pins. http://www.autoartisans.com/mill/G213V-Terminals.jpg John _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
