Yes, this machine is still my day-to-day machine, I use it most days still. The original controller is now 18 years old and the mill still runs the conversion parts documented here.
I just added a new work light to the machine, I used an LED ring from an 'angel eyes' LED conversion for BMW cars. It is the 90mm OD version. Found on Ebay for next to nothing. A 12V power supply runs it.
Thought I would add a pic of a recent 3D part on the machine, this is a bulkhead for an RC car - material is Delrin.

And i'm still planning to upgrade mine to cnc one day :-)
