Brother HS-300 EDM Help
To help you with parts, no factory support at all, there a guy on ebay that buys and sells these old machines. I bought my HS300 from him about 6 or 7 years ago. He strips them for parts, if he can't fix them, and sells them. Good guy and reasonable prices. He lists as 9warren9.- machineit2

Need help with monitor!
I was working on another Haas VF2 and it will be down for a while longer, so I swapped the monitors. So I'm up and running. Will give me time for check this one out or get it repaired. The funny thing on this is, that they are normally off and being on is the bad thing. Mike- machineit2

Need help with monitor!
This morning I go to the 97 Haas I am running and the monitor is blank. All else works, but that doesn't help of course. Pulled the cover off of the back and I see one of the two little bulb things is on. Pulled the cover off of my other Haas and turned it on and both of them are off. See...- machineit2

Just my opinion, but don't like the new software. Does it provide some other benefit other than changing the interface?????- machineit2

Help with Brother HS-300 EDM
I am happy with it. Bought 8 years ago for $6,500 and it has much more than paid for itself, plus gives me options I would not have. Made a video of it running many years ago, if you want to see it: YouTube Thanks---Mike- machineit2
