Mmm … deja vu

Ha, I did scan through the earlier posts to see if Goodwin had been recommended, but obviously missed that part in your post.

No problem, Nick

It was the ‘No fix, No fee’ offering that first attracted me.

i’ve never had cause to use them, but assume that you have.

Good morning,

We do manufacture and stock adaptor cables that will suit your Mitutoyo encoders to connect with a M-DRO / Easson display unit (others consoles will also be suitable)- which will give you all the modern features of a display console while retaining the use of existing encoders

Sent a message to M-DRO. I have one of their units on another machine and am very leased with it, otherwise, It's back to modelling because I'm fed up with fiddling!

Thanks to all who tried to help.

I'm back fiddling with this Mitutoyo DRO again!

I convinced myself that the fault MUST lie with the cables so I sent them to an electronic repair specialist (www.electronic.partners) for testing and they cannot find anything wrong!

I then decided to have a look at one of the glass scale units which labeled as "AT2-N250" with a Mitutoyo code number of "529-102-5", which I had previously cleaned using optical cleaning wipes.

There appear to be three lights and three 'receivers' for want of a better word, on opposite sides of the glass scale.

Does anyone knew if these are indeed three lights and should they light up when the unit is taken out of the track with the power switched on?
