    Exclamation Alarm 20 NMI emergency stop and alarm 204 spindle controller malfunction

    Hi
    I have a 1986 QT20N with Mazatrol T2 got from a auction with a spindle problem.
    On gear 1 machine get to 900 rpm but brake to 0 rpm is taking over 6 seconds. Acceleration to rpm's is ok.
    On gear 2 machine get to 2200 rpm but deceleration to 0 rpm is taking over 10 second. Even so! When machine is braking in gear 2 never manage to stop. I get Alarm 20 NMI emergency stop and Alarm 204 Spindle controller malfunction. Alarms are disappearing after shutdown an main braker in OFF position for couple seconds.
    I don't think it's normally for the machine to take so long to stop the spindle. I've seen some videos on YouTube and there was a much faster deceleration.
    It is reasonable to suspect that Alarms 20 and 204 have same cause?
    Anybody faced this issue?

    Are there any brake resistors in this machine? Maybe are burned or disconnected. I don't know where to look.

    Thanks
