    Lathe retrofit recommendations

    Have a 1979 Mori-Seiki TL-5 with Fanuc 6T control (single line display). Would like to have a complete retrofit done to a new control. Fanuc control is preferred although not necessary. Are hoping to find an outfit that can come to our location and perform all of the work required, leaving us with a fully functioning machine that is ready to run some G-Code. Our shop is located in western Canada - so any recommendations of Canadian companies would be preferred.

    Thanks!
