"The Kid" just bought a mill.

The control is dead. Anyone know if this control is worth repairing?
Or has my son just bought me a winter project?

I used to work on a tree mill years ago at the shop I worked at. I didn't
know anything about the control computer but it had Baldor servo motors and
drives IIRC.

If the controls don't come up easily I'd consider converting to a more
modern PC based control. I like EMC2 because it's free, hardware is
reasonable, it's very configurable, and many users & developers to help you
get it working right.
