I have a 17 X 40 lathe with a older Sony DRO setup. It's a LH42, two axis unit and it just decided to fizzle out. On start up it shows 'error' on both axis.
I have called and emailed several companies that say they repair these systems, but as typical...no one returns calls or emails. I don't understand how companies stay in business.
Does anyone have any recommendations or guidance on this dilemma? From a cost standpoint I would love to get this repaired versus buying new. I have a Bridgeport with newer Magnescales and they are flawless. Mitutoyo makes a magnetic system which is fairly reasonable..Acu-Rite is too much as is Newall or Fagor.
I'm afraid of the Chinese stuff although some of it looks pretty good!
Would it be unreasonable to think the LH42 control could be repaired? Who would do it?
