Well, we went to look at the 2001 Chevalier. While the machine looks nice, it appears to be brain dead. The Anilam 6400M control shows no signs of life. We were told it died after a storm. Unfortunately the servo drives appear to be tightly integrated with the control probably making it a poor retrofit candidate.
Anyone familiar with the last generation of Anilam controls or do a retrofit of one?

Being so close and if it works (bring a big compressor to try it). I'd get it. It has linear way vs box and 6K rpm CAT40 spindle.
