Boss 6 rigid ram...Help needed
Was running good and then out of nowhere.....poop.
Spindle still runs but lost everything on the control panel. Just went dark on me in the middle of a simple program.
Still running all original equip except have it wired in to my computer.
It's been running good like this for years.
I know.....every time I need help I get the retro fit it with updated equipment.
It's probably one of the boards pooped out but not sure where to start. Any advice (help) on chasing the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Dave

After posting the thread I opened up the cabinet and started poking around and looking things over. Just as a check, because everything went dark on the readout and the machine just stopped mid program, I started thinking maybe as simple as a blown fuse? I started pulling the fuses and and found one of them had vibrated loose maybe a full turn. Snugged it up and checked the rest. Did a re-fire and things seem to be back to normal.
I guess my lucky day!
The model I have is a Series II Boss 6 rigid ram.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond.
