So, for those of you who are following, I've made some real progress! I decided to go forward with the control rebuild (which I'll discuss in detail in a later post.)
To get it ready for the new control I had to gut the control box, rewire the solenoids and limit switches and provide power to the new control, relay boards and solenoids. (I was planning on using the old transformer for the solenoids but it wasn't working and a new power supply was only $10)
The switches were all worn out and I was never able to replace the light bulbs so I got some new ones that were meant for an arcade console. I also added an emergency stop switch.
The control is only partially built at this point I don't have enough relays to run a cycle but I do have the toggle, knock out, and system pressure solenoids functioning. Once it is done and fully programmed I'll make a new post. Here is a video.

Looks like progress. GJ
