Has anyone ever seen a "Rodgers-Trim, Inc" Sherline type CNC set up?

[Curmudgeon]

I recently purchased two Spectralight/Sherline clones that have a tag on them that reads "Rodgers-Trim, Inc." That's all I know about them at this point. Not inclosed but on small wooden bench like mounts. From the pics they look akmost exactly like a Spectralight.

Anyone have any knowledge of these. Searches return zip.

Thanks !
Here is the pic from the auction site.

Picked up the machines and they are Paxton Patterson machines. Not sure why they were listed otherwise ?
Anyway now to figure out what I need to drive them. They look to save 4 wire bipolar steppers and I think I can run them directly from a driver board ?

Maybe the Rodgers-Trim, Inc. tags were asset tags from that company?

The motors have a Rogers-Triem tag on them. Go figure.
These have turned out to be nice little machines. Don't appear to have much time on them and no dings, gouges, or evidence of any crashes. One is missing the entire tailstock and one gibb from the crossslide. I swapped out the little 87oz steppers for 249oz steppers and have one of them up and running already with a Rockcliff driver board and Mach3. Everything swapped out super easy. These originaly came with MicroKinetics (sp?) hardware and software but I think the steppers are simple bipolar 4 wire steppers that can be driven by any of the available driver boards / BOB's avalaible.

Pretty cool find! I see they're using the old AC spindle motor and controller.

I have an old SpectraLight and it does a fine job on small Al and plastic parts. I'm in the process of converting an HF 7x10 as I need something a bit "beefier".

Have fun with 'em!
