hello im new here and also very new to cnc mills i found one i am interested in buying and it seems like it is in good shape. it is a Shizuoka ST-N with a bandit controller. the seller said he thinks that there might be power supply problems with the controller. so i was wondering if someone here could help me understand what it would take to retrofit it with a new controller. could i possibly buy new servo motors and geckodrives and just run it from a pc. any help would be much appreciate. thanks alot

This is a little late, but you can see what I have done here:
