I just got my gently used bridgeport series on mill home and wedged into the garage (shop, cars belong in the driveway) After powering it up there was no response from any of the jog features. The guy I bought it from said he believes that a transitor on the main board is bad I will have a guy from worko test it tomorrow. My main question is about the "Hillbilly" does it replace a board or is an add on? is this simply a easy way to down load G-Code to the machine? My nest question is would the Mach 3 a good addition to the hillbilly board. I would like to use the machine "as is" until I can upgrade to a more updated machine.
Thank You for any info you have
Scott
PS I believe this machine has the Boss 4 control
