Are these Matsuuras' reliable???

[teamjnz]

Hello All,

Since there is no Matsuura forum I will ask here. I have a line on this machine. It is a 1982 MATSUURA MC-500V MINI MASTER and has a Yasnac controller. I don't what model the controller is but I am guessing it is before the MX1, possibly the Yasnac G2000. If I do get this machine I don't know is this old style has work cordinates G54 G55 etc. or if it can do 3axis simultaneous moves.

I haven't been able to talk to the owner yet. I am waiting for a response right now. As with any old machine electronic parts are a concern so I am asking if anyone have any experience with these?

Any comments would be helpful.

Thanks,
teamjnz
