A friend left a Emco Unimat-PC lathe with me to see if I wanted to buy it or fix it. It has a milling head and power feeds for all the axis. I guess it can be connected to a computer and run like a CNC machine, hence the "PC" in the name. It looked to be new or at least unused 8 years ago when he got it from a guy he works with and he has used it about 5 hours total since. Its just dirty from sitting unused in the garage all this time. When he did use it, the lathe kept blowing the fuse under heavy cuts, so the genius put foil around the fuse and soon after that it quite running and then the magic smoke came out of it. It wouldn't power up so I took it apart. The main power board is fried. I can see several diodes, resistors or whatever they are called are burnt to a crisp. This is the main circuit board that powers all the drive motors for On/Off forward/reverse and speed control. Although it wouldn't take much elbow grease to make this little machine look new again, but a new board is needed before it will ever run again. I have done several searches on the net and all I get are the older Unimats. The only thing that looks like it might be a model designation is wrote on the back it reads as follows
