Surely someone has one of these lying around unloved, unused and looking for a home. It goes in a 1996 MicroMill and probably many other Denford machines.
Mine died but I was able to resuscitate it by replacing the bridge rectifier. I'd love to get another one to have as a spare in case mine dies again. I don't need the add-on serial board or dongle or software, just the control board. There may be Smartstep/2's as well which would be fine as my machine has been converted to a lathe and only uses 2 axes.
I live in the US but can wait for slow, cheaper shipping if anyone has one and is willing to part with it for a reasonable price.
Thanks for looking!

We have some in service stock at Denfords.
If you want I can ask for a cost.

Hi Martin, thanks for the reply.
Sure, I'd like to know what the price would be. Hopefully "old school" hardware is inexpensive.
