You'd also want to throw out the POS control on an old Hurco.
And the servo's.

Why the servos?

Near as I can tell the servos are fine (and plenty powerful) on mine, but
the encoders are crap by today's standards. Heck, two out of three of them
fell apart. The third one might when I get around to taking it off. Its on
the top of the spindle screw and its awkward to get to, but away it goes
when I get there. Not enough resolution either.

I was very happy with US digital encoders, I have five on my milling
machine.
