I have 4 PR stepper motors with 6 wires. I have a PRT controller that takes the PRT motors which have only 4 wires. Is there any way I can use my PR motors with my PRT Controller?

See the image for a fuzzy description!
Thanks all

No problem using those motors. My machine is like that.
Just need the 4 wires like a Prt.

I upgraded my old PR machine to a PRT control box several years ago. Here is a photo of the wiring and a photo of the stepper.

I sent you an email - wiring instructions from Shopbot.

BTW - pay attention to the instructions. This way you won't fry the controller board. It's easy to cook it, I know from experience(little mistake, but costly)
