Cliff,
I went against your advice and bought that hurco 4th on ebay, beat the price down a bit though!
Anyway, turns out it was a good buy I think, it's in pretty good nick, used but not abused! Mechanically smooth and tight, servo motor is good, haven't checked the tach or encoder though.
I want to fit it on dad's bmc25 (serial # BN9-009-060 if it's any help, already rigged up for the 4th - hydraulics and all), we discussed it before if you recall and thought it would be a direct fit. What I mean to ask is what are the chances of getting a cable from hurco? Or failing that, would you be able to assist me in making one up? It came with manuals inc. wiring diagrams but I've nothing for the machine side.
The amphenol connector on the unit is peculiar, and is damaged slightly. I'd like to replace it but can't find anything like it. Any suggestions on that?
