Hi all! ...Trying to enter new program on my ORAC lathe I press (5) to move cursor to <enter new program> line and the cursor blinks under selection(5). Now if I press (E)ENTER nothing happens.

Hello everyone!

I have this mill for sale.
Some problem with power supply. This means it is OK for upgrading and convertion to modern electronics and software.

Hello everyone!

I have urgent need of an Orac keyboard.
Does anyone have a spare keyboard to sell please?

Thank you.

Read about how to handle CMOS chips. Use foam tape to keep the new chip securily in place...

...I am looking for the old key board. Do you still have it?

...And I forgot to tell you. Do not touch anything if you forgot to take pictures of it and save them. At least one megabyte each.
So first you take shots and then you start removing things OK?
