I may make this a rebuild thread, because I have plans for this guy... (Black Zak 2.0, if any of you have seen Phil's Ver. 1...) Anyway.
Two things.
Firstly, got this from a dealer out east who doesn't do cnc things (he says) It appears to be missing its transformer. It has a big cable coming off the front throw-off switch with six power leads, one ground, and six little low-voltge leads. I can only assume that goes to something putting out... 400? Does anybody know the voltage and kva of that guy, and if I can go one step further what the low voltage wires do?
Secondly, while hauling the big dumb thing over the mountains and through the woods from northeast PA to southwest MO I lost something that was the size of my forearm or so, looked kindof like a bracket that was grey with a black canisterish thing like a pop can, threw sparks when it hit the ground, cant see where it is missing from, and couldn't go back to look for it because it is in the middle of a twelve lane exchange in Indiannapolis...
I cant imagine anyone will have any idea what that might be now, but later if something is acting weird, maybe someone will have an idea of what that might have been... Just saw it in the left rear view mirror (back side of the machine) while going over a bunch of jeezeless bumps in that cobblestone interstate.
Pics to follow momentarily, I may snap a few even before I touch it with windex, just because...

I guess it came from PCC Composites in Pittsburgh, if anyone knows this machine...
