    Anilam Crusader 2 controller

    i am looking at purchasing my first milling machine, it is a 1986 mill port knee mill with anilam crusader 2 controller. i have a diploma in machine tool tech and am comfortable using canned cycles and g-code. i have done a little reasearch and found that this controller can be repaired here: Lynn Electronics Corporation

    has anyone had any experience with this controller? is there a good chance i will have problems with a controller that old? the asking price for this machine is $5500, does this sound reasonable? thank you.

    10" X 50" table

    Vertical head swivels

    Variable speed: 60 to 4250 RPM

    R8 spindle taper

    Anilam Crusader II CNC controls

    Two Axis contol X travel 31.5"; Y Travel 14"

    Bijur lube system

    Spraymist coolant system

    Miscellaneous tooling; Two collet racks; 6" swivel vise

    I just got a mill with Crusader II controller and will scrap it for a Mach 3 controlled system. The Crusader II was great technology for the 70's when it was designed but there are better options now.
