The consensus on the Centroid Facebook forum is to sell the DC Brush Servos and replace with new drives and motors.
If the machine is mechanically in really good condition, its probably the best way to go.
Centroid has an Umbrella tool changer PLC, slight modification might be needed. All depends on the actual tool change sequence of your machine.

ok thanks for all the insight I will weigh my options and go from there. the machine is a great base with box ways chilled ball screws and spindle thru spindle coolant and scales on x-y axis. if i have to make adapters for ac servos prob go with something like 1.8kw there a nema 52 base or 130mm very easy to get.
