    SouthBend 12/18 Magna-Turn

    I need to find an axis control board or someone who can fix one. Southbend part no PT 35041-C1. Any help would really be appreciated with parts both control and hard parts. I have a machine that has never cut a part. Someone out there must still support these machines.

    Southbend MagnaTurn 12-18

    I guess the machine is a 1986 maybe 1990. I have yet to get it to run, as I said this machine has never cut a part. I have someone who was able to fix the board as the damage was very slight and just physical damage. Today i am going to replace the CMOS battery and see if I can get it to start up further than I have been able so far. Right now when I turn on the power I get a screen asking to push F1 to run the setup utility but nothing happens. I have some manuals with the machine, but I believe they are for another generation of machine. This machine only has one disc drive and the manuals I have reference 2 drives. Any information or help you can give to me would really be appreciated. Is there a protocol I am missing?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    F1 should get you to the setup, on the startup does it see the harddrive

    Southbend MagnaTurn

    I was wrong about the year it is at least a 1992 model machine. I have attached a photo of the screen when I power it up and when I push F1 nothing happens. I will be putting in a new CMOS battery this morning to see if that helps. I am not sure if it is picking up the hard drive and maybe the photo would allow you to tell me, and what to do.
    Thanks,
    Chris
