What to do with a Deckel FP2 electrical cabinet

sigurasg · Aug 25, 2020

Hey y'all,

I got the original electrical cabinet with my Deckel FP2. Originally I'd planned to reuse it and add a VFD, but in the end I wired up a new, much smaller cabinet for the VFD.
This begs the question what to do with the old cabinet. It has all the original connectors and machinery for what I believe is a centering microscope and e.g. the high-speed spindle.

Does anyone here have any use for any of this stuff

?

What year machine was this from? I might have use for a couple of bits if you were parting it out.

That's very clean inside. At least here in Germany you could sell that for a couple of hundred Euro to someone.

The only thing that might be good to have is the microscope connector. But you can buy one new for 19 Euros (the price has gone up from 16) see this thread:
Correct connector for Hensoldt-Wetzlar centering microscope?
So I would sell off the cabinet if possible. Put it on Ebay with a Buy It Now price of $250 and if you are patient probably someone will take it off your hands.

One of these days (or years, or decades!) I intend to ditch my electrical cabinet (that isn't so clean inside) and replace it with a pair of VFDs and a little 6v power supply for the microscope.

This is from a 1966/1967-ish machine imported to the US. What do you need? Feel free to PM me.
