Have had a lathe down for a while as we source other parts. However, I realized it looks like the maint battery may be dead? How long do those last? I figured due to how difficult it was to get to and pretty much no shot at replacement while running, it would last for many years?
In any case, if the battery is truly dead, can we just re-enter the parameters like most other controls? I heard somewhere they require a total software reload? That would be a HUGE problem! I can't even find anyone to even talk to about these machines! And we have a pretty rare lathe in the fact that it has LOTS of bells/whistles that were not common on them at the time.
