Hi,
I've recently purchased an Emco EmcoTurn 120 (also known as a Compact-6 CNC) with an EmcoTronic T1 control on it. This machine is in darned near new condition (maybe 10 hours at most on it), but it is missing one vital piece of material.... the MSD tape. I recognize that this tape is different for every machine, but having a copy would at least get me started. Apparently you can save the data out to the serial port (and read it in from there too), so if someone has one of these machines I would love to get in touch with them. Also, I'd love to get a copy of the VHS tape that describes the usage of the control.... It isn't mandatory, but it would be nice.
Finally, if anyone has any tooling for the machine that they don't need.... Well, you get the picture.
This machine is a little strange in that it used 380V in. They sold the lathe with a monster transformer though (which I have). Getting an appropriate phase converter might be a trick though... I don't think I want to try my homebrew rotary on a CNC. The voltages can drift up too much.
Anyhow, if you can help with any information, I would *very* much appreciate it.
Thanks,
Alan
