Greetings. I have an old PRT 48x96 from the 90's. Homemade wooden table, all that jazz. It's a dinosaur. I have the computer tower control box with the old board/card, seen here.
.
It's on its last leg. I've cooked one channel and when I cook another, it's toast. ShopBot no longer sells or repairs these boards and I understand why. So I went to upgrade to the V4G control board and ShopBot says I can't because my old machine has a ball screw Z drive and it won't work.
I know it's just a matter of time before I cook another channel. I'm wondering if any of you old-timers with an old Bot have found a work-around to keep your Bot up and running. There has to be a solution without having to buy a whole new machine.
