I stripped them bare and started with a fresh back panel. The first machine never had a cabinet, I purchased it new and installed it.ncpapaul wrote: ↑Thu May 24, 2018 10:31 am Thank you greatly, man a picture is worth way way more than 1000 words here. This will help us very much. I have questions about the spindle drive/controls but I'm pretty sure I'm ahead of myself. I found the martyscncgarage site and he started with a bare empty cabinet. I've wondered if I should just strip mine bare BUT my cabinet looks just like yours across the top, the transformer etc. and maybe it better to do one thing at a time.
It's just that I have many strands of wire harness hanging all over the place now. And not sure which will be reused and which discarded. Thanks again, PaulV2XT Cabinet 1.JPG
As I previously mentioned, locate and tag your wires. Then using the Centroid Schematics, start with that.
Too bad you are far away....I'm for hire.

Take it one step at a time.
