Good deal, glad you got it working; looks like maybe you should give the poor thing an overall checkup.

I'm afraid to, I'm afraid I'll tear it down and never figure out how to get it going again. I've already replaced the "ways" under the carriage (worn .010 on either end) with linear rails & ball bearings. Three different parts are cable driven, one by hand (turning a crank) and one by electric motor turning a drum. I've replaced two of the cables. I'd like to put a stepper motor in the carriage drive, but also need to keep it usable for orders. I made 8 9 inch props today.
