Ok, here’s the scoop. I’ve got this Deckel FP3A CNC that I’ve had on our shop floor with the intention of getting her up & running with no luck. I’ve always considered ourselves very capable as we’ve brought to life some real oddball equipment but this thing is turning my hair grey.
We’ve spent hours trying to troubleshoot the control but it just won't fire up. We've had no luck and I’m just tired of looking at the machine as its been here for 5-years. I’ve never advertised the machine as we rarely sell machines in non-working condition, but I just don't have the time or energy for this dog anymore. Apparently there are only 2 of these machines ever produced according to the factory, and they told us they might be able to repair the control if we send it to Germany. I just can't justify the costs at this point and just need the space and hopefully to break even. We’ve repaired boards & chips in the control with no avail. So I’m posting this machine here in hopes that someone can bring her to life & give her a new home, who knows.. possibly turn her into a conventional machine? The machine itself is very clean and has the universal tilt rotary, which at this point is probably worth more than the machine. Am I dreaming that I can get back my $6K invested?
