I agree. And other posts from years ago are still helpful to those coming along later still using old ShopBot configurations. It would really be helpful to confirm sales price, tho. We only know...

If you are willing, it would be helpful to know how much it sold for. Glad it sold quickly.

Thanks Tom. Yeah, I gotta check the Unit Values, tho I'm not sure I understand what value should be there. ShopBot Support told me "The Unit Value for your Z is likely going to be the same as your...

Tom, the "patch" for serial would be a software patch in addition to the 9pin to usb cable right? Something I could find online? We are now trying to run sb on a Windows ME OS. Finally got them...

I don't know Chuck, but from a moral support standpoint, I would hope to he** that's not the case. Pardon me. I would really get concerned when he asked me to bring the rack in. Who wants to...

You make a great point there chiloquinruss. I like the way you think. Wish I had thought to tell him that. I need to have you on retainer so I can consult with you on a moment's notice! :) ...

Thanks, I appreciate it. Not sure yet.

Tom, where you said: "I'm running a Win 7 machine. There is a cable that runs from the board to the computer that goes from Serial to USB. I recently had the board rebuilt (to the tune of $550). Now...

Thanks again for staying engaged here so far, artbot. I have no issue at all with the same approach. Design on a faster higher memory machine, toolpath it, and dump the small .sbp file(s) on...

What version controller board does it have? Looks like serial port, so guessing no usb connections right? Thanks.

Did it sell? How much if you don't mind me asking? Always helpful to know actual sale price compared to asking price. Thanks.

Interested in how much it sold for. I am trying to gather a few comps for a machine I am considering selling. YThanks.

If you don't mind, it would be helpful to me to know what you sold your ShopBot for. I'm trying to gather a few comps for a 2001 PRT I am considering selling. Thanks.

Thanks Tom,

Yeah I figured knothead was more user-friendly than lunkhead, which is likely more accurate... If/as you get to know me you will see how fitting it is... Using a magnifying glass it...

Thanks dmidkiff, It's hard to get closer to my machine than yours. I have found SB support to be great. I will talk to them. Thanks for the thoughts.

Thought so. Always good to avoid that sort of marketing behavior.

Thanks artbot, for the reply. What/how does the USB patch work? Serial to usb cable/adapter? I think the tower I am using has late *86 processor or early Pentium processor? maybe? Will have to...

I have a PRT96 I bought new from SB in April 2001. I have an interested buyer who has s different idea what it is worth than I do. This person has never operated a cnc tool, ShopBot or other, but...

Six4, I'm intrigued by the way you presented you phone number. Is that because it helps avoid robo-calls? It's none of my business, I realize, but, hey, that's never stopped me before... It's your...

WOW machineryman. Good catch. Not sure what retail $ was new, but would guess up to 10 times the current bid of $1,200. Esp. with the vacuum hold down, etc. Has to be more than 5 times that...

How much did you get for it if you don't mind? I am about to sell a PRT96 Standard. Thanks

How much did you sell it for? $ 5000? Curious because I am about to sell a PRT 96(I think that's the right designation) I bought new in 2001. I know it's not an Alpha. Thanks.
