Servo Amplifiers

Brushed DC servo amplifiers made by Glentek. The nameplate reads:

Glentek
El Segundo, CA.
Model: GA4568-4E-1
Serial: 3090
HF 3Ø

Documentation is still available:

Relay Board

The board has marked on it's silkscreen:

1100-1B
Fadal
PF-B94V-0

1100-1B RELAY DISTRIBUTION BOARD | FadalCNC.com

The board seems to have 7 solid state relays, two bypassed outputs (no isolation), and two mechanical relay outputs.
