Welp, now both scales are dead so I think I'm going to sell the head unit and buy a complete replacement DRO kit for it. I'm also not happy with a couple of other things, like the knee crank hitting the Y axis handle if it's in the wrong spot and the spindle turns backwards when switched from low to high gear, but it's all minor stuff. I ended up snagging a Kennametal DA400 collet chuck and a near full set of collets, including a really nice Supreme Precisionist 3/8" keyless drill chuck for less than $200 on eBay, plus I found an NMTB-40 to R8 adapter in some of the tooling that came with it, so I can use some of my remaining R8 tooling with it as well.
Anybody in the market for an AcuRite DRO with two bad scales?
