Depends upon how computer savvy you are and whether or not you know anyone who can do some mechanical assembly and electronics wiring. If you watch this video on youtube it's our Innova Pro 26" machine that I automated myself. It's not really that difficult to do but you really have to know something about stepping motors and the associated electronics. Everything is commercially available online. I built the retrofit in 10 days...watch the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWmdZi4BODM

Can be done relatively inexpensively.
