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.
