    Hey I have just bought a project and was wondering how much more work is involved in getting it up and running.

    It is a 6DOF platform with all the actuators and a Thanos controller. Owner says it just needs wiring done.

    See pics here : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RACING-6-DOF-MOTION-SIMULATOR-COMPLETE-WITH-CONTROLLER-/142879570217?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&nma=true&si=LbjfpA7izLqTI6ImMhwH%2B02CTsQ%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc

    Can you tell from the pics just what is left to do ?

    Is it worth it or too much for a complete novice (but I do have fabrication and IT skills - just not in this area) ?

    Cheers
