Dear Sirs:I have recently purchased a really neat old lathe,that is in great mechanical shape.However,it was retrofitted in the 90s,with a Sabina DC drive system that is dead(ish).I have NOT hooked up power to it yet,but it was tapped I believe to receive 440 in,putting out 220 to the drive.I am scared to let the smoke out of it,so I'm proceeding slowly.Do I even need the transformer,if I am going to hook up to 208 in my shop?I have ordered Sabina's schematic,and I also called them.They want an automatic $1500 just to look at the board.Yeek.That's a gamble I might not have to take.I did find a little fuse burned out above the board.Anyone know anything about these drives?Thanks!Doug
