Somewhere here is a good thread for building it from simple parts.
But I agree at least a bit with chinli, don't believe, the machine will run. I have bought a machine last year, at this nearly all mechanical part don't work. I have changed all pneumatic hoses, new pressure reducer, mistoiler, some new solenoid valves, new fittings. A complete test of the electric parts, brings some dead Proximity switches, the motor of the pallet changer or better the controlcard for it, don't works and many other problems. Now the machine runs but unfortunately not the control and the manufacturer don't support these old parts from 25 Jears ago. The only thing I can make is, to remove the control and change it to a new one with Ethernet communication. You don't have these problems, because your machine have only 4 or if the toolrevolver is NC-controlled 5 Axis. In my machine I need 7. That don't works with all simple solutions, cos they can't more than 6axis, most less.
The german manual is not a problem, you can scan it and send me the files. I will try to translate it.
