    Bridgeport R2E3 Series 1 conversion to Mach3

    Hello Everyone,

    I recently acquired a Bridgeport R2E3 Series 1 cnc and am looking to convert the control to Mach3. I came across this old thread http://www.cnczone.com/forums/bridge...almost-11.html) and attempted to contact Hillbilly (Darek) of Ashburn Industrial Repair to buy one of his BOB’s. Does anyone know if he’s still selling these? His website seems active but I haven’t been able to get a hold of him.

    Aside from that, what I’m looking to do is replace the old Boss controller and reuse the original servos (CSR Contraves SDA0251-G186), encoders (Datametrics Trump Ross S-9481A-250), and drivers (NC400). I’m assuming that NC400 servo drive is analog rather step and directions. That being said, I’m having trouble finding compatible a break out board.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for me? Also if anyone has the matinence manual or any wiring diagram for this machine I would love to have a copy.

    Thanks,
    Mike
