I recently picked up a Hardinge AHC that's been fitted with an Accuslide. The parameters were lost when the batteries died, the spindle encoder is bad and the VFD is DOA. Good candidate for a retrofit 8-) .

These pictures are at the shop where I got it. My quarters are too cramped to get a good full on shot. Some parts have already showed up so hopefully progress will be quick.

Got the acorn up and ran through the initial setup. Also the motors/drives and did the initial tune on them also.

I got the computer mount moved back to give me a little more room to move around.
The box is cleaned out.
New face plate made and mounted. There will be another over this one for the monitor. I plan to mount the drives to the back of this plate.

Little more progress yesterday.

Drives mounted
Monitor mounted to faceplate and then mounted to the box
Made a small bracket to hold the computer and USB ports - trying not to penetrate the outer shell if I can avoid it.

Got a little more done in both cabinets. Still need to do some wire management but lights are coming on and flashy things are flashing!
