Less than 40 hours till we draw the winning ticket for a new car? We've only sold 1200 so far! Take a great chance and help some great FRC students!

Re: Recommendations for Restoring Router

Mesa 5124/25 with a +/-10V daughter board.



I'll find out when I wind them up next week. The cables suggest they have both a tach feedback and quadrature encoder, all balanced signals.



Thanks! ...

Thanks for the order! We don't pay full price. The Ford dealer gives us a discount in return for all the publicity.
