Yes, they are huge motors, and servomotors at that, not steppers.
The Mechanical system needs no restoration, and both motors are there. One appears to be broken, but we've found replacements for $100. We need a controller, spindle, and then software as far as we can tell.
We're really not interested in selling it, this bad boy is rigid and the motors are real powerful. It also seems like a lot less work as this is mechanically good to go minus a table. Having a router in house to us isn't terribly useful if the cut speed is slow and we're limited to light materials. We want to do some serious work on it, or not spend hundreds of hours getting it made setup and running.
Thanks for the advice guys, I'll be reading about what all these companies offer when I get some time. The biggest variable being what to do for a spindle, followed by what controllers to buy for our existing (200V 100-300W) AC servomotors.
