The age of the controls as well as the need for the transformer (the control and/or transformer is often missing by the time a home machinist buys the lathe) has lead to a lot of people performing retrofits to Mach 3 or LinuxCNC.
Outside Europe, a transformer was also required to supply 380V 3-phase to these controls. Originally they used either an EmcoTronic T1 or TM02 control. The 220 has a concrete filled base with a much deeper chip pan and optional parts catcher. The 220 axis specifications are the same the 120. Specifications put the 220 at 2.6kW, 6300RPM. Turn 220 has a 31mm spindle bore (25.5mm through drawbar) and a duplex pair of super precision angular contact bearings. Both have 2.6kW (3.5HP) and 5000RPM motors, though the 120 was rated 4000 RPM. The 120P draw bar actuator does not have a through bore. 120 still had taper roller bearings, but P models had ball bearings in the head stock and a larger 26mm spindle bore. 120, 120P, and 220P were made later and had minor changes including automatic central way lubrication. It's spindle uses a pair of taper roller bearings with 21mm spindle bore. Compact 6 was the first model produced in this range. Models with a 'P' suffix have a pneumatic chuck drawbar and tailstock. All models use 5 phase steppers on the axes. Many of them have shown up in the hands of hobbyists in the past few years as community colleges etc.
EmcoTurn 120/220/Compact 6 lathes are excellent large benchtop CNC machines made in Austria from the mid 80s to early 90s.
