    It is the VFS5.

    Where can I find that software? Sounds like a must-have if I am going to keep trying to use this machine. People with parts and knowledge on these are quickly disappearing. I have...

    Why the jump to suspect the RTC? What do the two have to do with each other?

    Can you give me any details about the function of these relays? Is one or both supposed to be turned on by the Spindle Drive Ready signal?

    I pretty much know how to do it. I need to know what batteries I need before I pull the machine apart. There is no place in the town where my shop is located, so I need them before I start the job.
