Charlie,
I'm on the left coast about an hour north of San Francisco so a visit is out. I imagine that the original Chinese control board would work with LinuxCNC. It would be a matter of figuring out which pin does what. There are probably step and direction pins for each axis, maybe spindle control and home/limit switches. What's the URL of the youtube video you found?
Going to a usb controller like a SmoothStepper would probably mean you would have to use Mach3/4 instead of LinuxCNC.

The connection between controller and computer is parallel or preinter cable, same going from control box to machine. I got a photocopied booklet english mixed with chinese. Very difficult to follow. Sorry, I live in Texas near Lubbock. I would be up for a phone call , if you would be interested.
Thanks for your reply
