Nice, that is a great find for that machine and I agree these rare things are precious, even after a seemingly short period of time.
There is no circuit board to my knowledge and I was very relieved yesterday to find it without one.
Dumb question perhaps, but how many terminals are you dealing with on that machine? I assume one for each spindle, then for each drive motor and the DRO? Have you poked around to see how difficult the hookups are for those parts?

Re: Le Sigh...FS41 Elite S issues?
The electrical box occupies the interior of the machine, and it has been monkeyed with a bit. There used to be a coolant pump, which was removed, and that seems to be part of the mess.
I have a weird ghost electrical issue where, once in a blue moon, the table raise keeps going up after I have let off the button. It's not a problem with the button, unfortunately. It's dam scary when it happens, and I have to make a quick dash over to the wall to throw the disconnect switch to 'off'. So far, I have managed to be in time each time it has happened. it's totally random thought - it hasn't done it now for three months.
I think to tackle the electrical will require a significant strip down of the machine, and I'm considering just replacing the entire mill, so probably it will be something I won't
have to get into.

That makes sense, gets to be a pretty big undertaking to have to remake the machine and re-wire as well.
