I am an instructor for a local community college and have an General industrial Icarver cnc. A previous instructor removed one of the control boards and we have not been able locate it or locate a replacement. Are there equipment available to retrofit a new control system for this router. I would like to purchase a new router but we do not have any grant money avaliable for the purchase of a new one. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the replies. I have all the equipment with the exception of the one control board. I may be able to get new stepper drives and motors with any related hardware to replace the electrical systems. I teach industrial maintenance, so if necessary I can fabricate most any mechanical part that is needed. I was told that General Industrial is no longer in business.

Here are some pictures of the machine I have. As you may be able to see it has had very little use.
