What's your skill set right now? that would be a good place to start. Right now it needs:<br>
<br>
1) someone to bug the manufacturer and see costs and possibility of replacement parts (via links i posted below)<br>
2) hacking a new controller board which is likely parallel to USB adapter (Henner seems to know about this)
<br>
3) order new transistors for the power pcb (once i take it apart to diagnose- might need to bring it home where my good equipment is for that)<br>
4) taking out the controller board that is there and writing down part numbers to reverse engineer as much as we can.<br>
<br>
and 5) googling for more info / replacement parts! people are still selling these around if you dig. maybe we can find another unit cheap.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Zach and the Laser Cutter folks,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My name is Eric, Mitch told me after I stopped by for the first time in years that some things needed love after I asked about the status of a few pieces of key equipment. Focusing on the laser cutter I was curious if there was anything I could do to help,
and figure out what was blocking at this time.</div>

</div>
<div>Nice to meet you,</div>

</p>
<p>There is a second hand one for $1500 we could raise money for. That way we have this one for parts. That's one option.<br>
</p>
<p>Im going to try emailing the manufacture to see what replacement costs would be.</p>
