    You most likely can sell the Fanuc on ebay to cover some costs.
    There is no possibility we use old fanuc ac servo motors with non fanuc drivers ?.

    The problem with Fanuc AC servo's is they use a proprietary method for commutation, I have removed the encoder and fitted a through shaft version replacing the encoder with one that has BLDC commutation tracks and can be used on AMC drives and others.
    There was also a poster here that came up with a board for sale to convert the existing commutation encoders.
