I was just hoping for good mechanicals when I bought it, but it might
actually be repairable.

Its had a new Mitsubishi controller installed, and I was told that they got
the X & Y to work, but had some problems with the Z, I wonder if maybe
there is a brake on Z that was not being disengaged with the new control.

I had started looking for manuals, but there was a stack of manuals that
came with it. I was surprised since they were not advertised in the sale.
The manual for the Mitsubishi controller was inside the control cabinet too.

There is also a box of tapes (program and code files I assume) and five tool
holders including some minor tooling and a drill chuck. It looks like #30
tool holders, but I was told they were "Quick 200." Anybody know how to
measure them to know what it is. (I have not looked in the manuals yet.)

Now I have two problems.

1. Getting it off the trailer.

2. Powering it up. I'll need to get a pretty good size phase convertor
from the look of it.

It will probably be six months to a year before I can start cutting with it.


No problems getting it home?

Looks like a fair job of tie down
