* Determine baud rate and handshaking on the serial port. Might be done by running above software, If it won't run, then try sending some harmless gcode at various baud rates and try to get it working. Could also find out how the 26450 UART is set up, if it's what's used for the external port. There are some serial patch items by the lathe. Don't lose them. Use them to help work out the necessary cable (it's apparently a null modem). | * Determine baud rate and handshaking on the serial port.

* Major cleanup and re-grease. This is an activity that historically involves leaving all the bolts on one side, where they get lost. Do NOT DO THIS. Plan the cleaning carefully, only leave things in parts if there's no other possiblity, and then keep all the parts in one box, partitioned and labelled so they can still be restored after several months, perhaps by a different person. Take photos and link them to this wiki. | * Major cleanup and re-grease. This is an activity that historically involves leaving all the bolts on one side, where they get lost. Do NOT DO THIS.

* Mach 3 conversion which does does not involve destructive modification and simply intercepting the feeds to the stepper motor drives and adding a spindle signal converter - This has been cleared by Phil the device as donated through his mate and Tom who collected it as well as discussed with a number of stake holders who agree on this route forward | |||
