cnc control box rebuild

ok guys, I'm hoping someone in here can help me out. I have a k2 cnc and the driver board in it has gone bad, and so I need to replace it, or rebuild the control box all together. I currently have a kflop from dynomotion as my break out board, servo motors, and a k2 brand driver board and bridge cards. since they don't make those any more, I cant just order and replaced it, and id like to add a touch probe and plate to my cnc, but with the current hardware, that isn't an option. I'm trying to figure out if I can just get a snap amp board from dynomotion, and just continue with the setup I have, or if I can replace just the driver board, or need to scrap it all and build everything from scratch. id rather keep the servo motors over changing them to steppers, and am just trying to figure out what direction to go at this point. any help anyone can offer would be appreciated. ive searched all over for answers, and cnczone seems to be out of commission, so I can dig through there either.
thanks
kris

Welcome to the forum, Kris! When you get a minute complete your profile with first name and location. That way the N/a will go away and your location helps us to help you.

I haven't heard anything yet about when CNC Zone will be back up and running. And I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to your questions. There may be some here who know, though. I built my own control box but that's a bit of a task if you can get replacement parts, or at least close to replacement parts.

If I can’t get mine repaired, mainly because the company went out of business 10 years ago, I may get with you and pick your brain about your control box rebuild.
