Denford Software & Machines

the black electrical box connection (pc connection) that has a 25pin on the outside but leads to a 9 pin female on the inside has come loose where does it fit inside the electrical box- i can only see another 9 pin female input - no male???

any advice would be great, many thanks....

Does you machine have a computer rack inside with PCBs slotted into it?
The RS232 went into the 9 pin connector on left most PCB card (the card also has an LED display on the front.
Or could this card be missing???

i think i have missing cards in the black electrical box? please confirm.
i cant believe the luck i've had with second hand denfords! wish i could afford a new one as i know they are extremely well built machines for there size. whats the cost of replacement cards? thanks for your time and help.
please see pics below

The news is not good PAB
The computer rack at the bottom should be populated with 5 slot-in cards.
Motion Controller, PSU, plus 3 x axis drive cards.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can get hold of these from your seller...

Hi PAB, how bizarre that the rack has been cleaned out like that

Have a look at the upgrade guide for photos of a populated rack:

We may have some drive or PSU cards lying around, but its going to be a really expensive fix im afraid unless you can find some bits on ebay

if you can't find replacement cards , then they could be replaced with a more up to date controller , shout if your stuck .
