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.
