Hello, I have a Servo brand x axis power feed on a Bridgeport 9x42 and last night it smoked and threw some sparks. I unplugged it right away but the damage has already been done. Has anyone out there repaired one of these? I was wondering if it's worth it or should I pick up another power feed.
 
I think it was the motor, I thought I started smelling something burning when I saw a spark fly then I shut her down.
 
yes, I am going to pull it apart on Wed. I'll give it the once over, I guess parts are still available for this unit it is a Servo model 80. Looking at the prices of new ones it's going to be worth fixing.
 
Great, thanks a bunch. I actually played with it a little and it worked and I was able to control my feed with no issues. I think the rapid traverse was the prblem it was stuck in and is now broken. I'll probably replace the rapid traverse plunger and go from there.
