Hi,We have a Robotool CVM1 that we are in the process of retrofitting. Could you give me the info on the following plug connections: J43, J518,J515 J52. We are converting to PC4CNC. The machine was working when we pulled the boards so if there is anyone in the market for them let me know. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in Advance Carl

Looking looking for someone that can troubleshoot the control box for the Roto tool we can send PCBoards to them to do bug in the main control since we have no idea what\'s wrong with it it drilled so many holes and goes to one hole again and stops the whole that is already drilled.Are you capable of did bugging such a problem we are in Santa Clara California and we\'re kind of a home shop.
