Heh heh!  Lucky you!

Well, there is a community of EMC retrofit owners developing on 
these.

Well, the spindle on my Sheldon R15-6 (D1-6, 2.25" spindle 
through hole, double-row zero-clearance ball bearings about 5" 
diameter) is mighty fine, and will go to 1250 RPM without 
overspeeding the motor.  Some models used a two-speed motor to 
get up to 2500 RPM.  I'm not going to do that with a chuck on 
there.  One of these days I will get around to CNC'ing it.  I 
want to make it so it can still be used as a manual lathe.

If you had to take it would still be worth it because nobody makes spindles
as good as the one in that HNC -Maybe the control would fall off the
truck on the way home if you were lucky

I reused the servo power supply. There are other higher(ish) current
supplies that might be good for something else. Whenever I need a piece
of wire, screw, switch, etc. I visit the 550. It's like having my own
little RadioShack.

Will they MAKE you take the GE 550 control?  If so, you'll have 
to dispose of that clunker.  I don't believe there's anything
