I recently bought a mill on ebay with a defunct bandit control. I plan on reusing at least the motors and power supply, but had a few questions. Can anyone tell from the pictures if these servos are DC or AC? If they're equipped with encoders or resolvers? It will probably be a chore to switch to encoders, but not impossible. I plan on using 3 gecko servo drivers with Mach.

Thanks,

Christopher

So there steppers, not servos as described in the auction? If so, gecko stepper drivers (and maybe a Grex) is the way to go?

Thanks for the prompt response!
