Trying to decide the fate of an old Dyna 2400 I have and exploring options that will work for me in the now. I picked up this machine with the full intention of going CNC with it. The electronics are too much of a challenge for me and I was going to update to Gecko. Right now I just need it to work. As far as it sits right now. No software, no computer old enough to interface with it, no known condition of the electronics, no time to sort all that out, and the plastic stepper gears for Y are stripped. Other than that seems to power, spindle works great, however I have not gotten it to respond at all with the control console. (not the LCD one)
The item I am trying to source is any type of manual hand knob with the measurement dials on them. The handles are somewhat easy it is the measurement portion that I am looking for. I don't care if it does not directly fit on. I am sure it will not but I can work with that. I just figured with all the people converting the CNC way there has got to be something laying around or perhaps someone know of where to get some sort of replacement part for another type of mill.
Any help would be great. If I can't find anything and with my lack of time there might be an auction block in its future.
Thanks ~Mike

Oh and just like everything in this world. There is a budget. LOL
