I have the opportunity to pick up an unused Speedy 207 router for a very reasonable price. The current owner bought it many years ago, never got it to work and gave up. I happen to have a good amount of experience running and programming CNC routers professionally.
It's clearly an obsolete piece of equipment, but since I won't be using it to make a living, it seems like a project I could have some fun with.
All of my google searches for this machine have led back to this forum. There seem to be a few common error messages. From what I can see, the controller actually has some pretty useful parametric software built in. It appears that it can run standard g-code as well.
Can anyone enlighten me further about this machine? The Speedy 207 appears to be very well built, at least to the standards of the day (AKA 20 years ago). Is it worth a bit of tinkering and TLC to get this thing running or would it be better used as a boat anchor?
