All these tests are how I did things with the origional control
I dont know how many people on this list ran these with the old GEs,
but I used to say a little prayer when I turned mine on,
sometimes he would listen sometimes not.
So whatever problem you have with a retrofitted one will pale
in compairison to what it used to be like.
We used to keep whole turrets set up for a job because setting
up 8 tools on the GE would bring tears to your eyes.
I think mine was $22,000 in 1979 ...about what a house would be around here
Not too many machines from 79 run as good.
Sorry this got a little long

I recall my turret.comp doesn't turn the air motor off until the table
parks or rather the parking or settle time runs out. I need to get
around to adding the park Hall sensor in the loop somewhere.
