I am going to retrofit a Bridgeport series 1 Boss machine with a new
PC based controller. I don't want to bother building up the control
cabinet - would rather find a good supplier who can provide a complete
control cabinet including Power Supply, Drives, PC interface, etc.
Any recommendations?
Thx
Scott Kelley

You said PC based controller, which one?

There are thousands of suppliers & your request is too generic for anyone to make a specific informed recommendation.
What exactly are you looking for?
Existing Plug and play, hobby, professional, stepper, servo, what size?
Your design, BOM & Parts assembled to your specs or someone to design and assemble package for you?
If you are putting together a one off then buying an existing retrofit package "bolt on*" package for a Bridgeport may be the cost effective way to go.
