I Swear They Just Followed Me Home, Baby ...can I Keep Them?

Scored a Prolight 2000 and a Prolight 3000 from a school. almost no visible signs of use. The cards for the computer are missing. Planning on going with a breakout board and some stepper drives. Mach soft ware or linux CNC to run them.

Nice score!

Sweet! How do you guys find these deals?

We have similar cnc equipment at the skool I work at, all we have machined on them has been soft plastic and brass.
Nice find.

The Prolight 2000 can be run as is connected to the serial port of aPC. I can send you the DOS control program if you need it.

I'm not familiar with the 3000.
