Hi Eli, welcome to the forum.  

One quick question. Does the control not work at all - or is it just a specific function that is giving you problems? Emergency stop is disengaged - yes? I'm just wondering if it could be something simple like a blown fuse.  

A quick Google search turned up this site from someone who claims to do repairs by way of mail order. I have never used this service myself so I have no experience with them. So take it with a grain of salt and do your own research. Personally I think finding someone in the San Fransisco area specifically that does this kind of work would be quite challenging. Being able to provide a specific model number for your mill and/or controller board numbers would go a long way in helping you get the correct help needed.

I wish I could be of more help, but maybe someone else here will have better info for you. Best of luck in your quest!

to the forum Eli.

Can you take the cover off of the box and take a picture of the circuit board and post it to the forum?

olduhfguy (the link Willie posted) is on the 7x14 mini-lathe list.

On my (now sold) micro mill, when the speed control stopped working, it was the potentiometer that went bad.

I bought a replacement from Little Machine Shop.com, and it worked fine after that.

Vinny, what is this "list" that you speak of?
