I recently purchased a very clean, well maintained, Bridgeport R2E4 with
Boss 9 controls. (30 lb. DC servo motors)

One problem, when I throw the switch I get no CRT activity and every light
on the control panel comes on and stays on. I have been through the trouble
shooting section several time and everything seems to check out ok on the
power supply side of things.

My question is does anyone have some suggestions as to what could be problem
off the top of thier head. Also, I realize these controls are nearly 20 yrs
old. Can anyone steer me in the direction of a PC based controller that I
can install and use a laptop to control. Preferably I would like to
accomplish this for under $2K.

Appreciate any comments
