Matsuura MC-500V with the single line LED screen input readout, Yasnac control.
The machine had minor mechanical issues before a ham fisted tech smoked the control to a point. The led readout is now dead, and some other features on the panel are dead.
Since it looks likely scrapping it or a major change is needed I've wondered if going to the more modern control with the CRT would be feasible?
Second option is finding and replacing that model of control.
Third option is retrofitting to Centroid, Dynomotion or similar unit. I'm so lost of what they're asking on their websites I can't even determine what item(s) I would need to price out or if they can even handle this job. I'd really rather not spend multiples of what the machine is worth trying to polish what was a smooth running turd.
