I found the machine on craigslist and I have wanted a cnc machine for a long time so I decided it was the project I wanted to try next. The first thing I need to do is get it in my garage. It is currently on the trailer in a hanger waiting for me to take enough off of the top to fit under my 7 foot garage door. Does anyone have any advise or pointers on how to remove the motors and stuff from the top of the head?

The electronics are shot but the guy I bought it from claims that the control boards and servos work (we shall see) so I plan to control them using LinuxCNC and the mesa 5i25/7i77 boards.Can anyone tell me a good place to get a copy of the schematics?

I have read a lot of the post that are out there and plan to read more but welcome any help that you are willing to give.

Thanks in advance,
Rusty
