Any suggestions on a budget DRO for a Bridgeport?

[Eddyde]

I bought a Easson DRO from this seller on Ali Express:

It arrived in one week I bench tested it, It works fine, am I am in the process of installing it now, I agree with others, the included brackets are almost useless. So far I'm very pleased.

Thank you for the offer Bruce is there any reason to go magnetic over glass ?

I just bought a Fagor 3-axis DRO on ebay for $600. My Bridgeport is a 36" and the Fagor is set for a 42" so I may have to do some swapping. I must admit that buying a DRO is a big challenge. My brother who really uses his Bridgeport a lot purchased a cheap DRO years ago from Grizzly, and other than having to re-do the mounting brackets, he says it works fine.

If you are somewhat electronics savvy, check out TouchDRO. I have them on my lathe and mill.
