I had a similar problem, and ended up ripping everything out and replacing it ALL. OK, I kept the big main power transformer, the cooling fan, and the motor/encoders on the axes. I even replaced a lot of the power and signal cabling. To be sure, that cost a bit, but the system now works very well and I have FULL doco for every bit of the machine.
What does your former employer want to do with the machine?
