got this machine a while back when Benny bought his Bandsaw & I got 2 Bridgeports. It's been stored at Benny's orphanage ever since and was brought to my shop Sat. June 1st. It looks worse than it is, it's missing a few parts but otherwise it's in great shape. It has chrome ways and most of the flaking is still there, I have the head & motor but missing the knuckle that mounts the head to the ram and allows it to swivel & nod.
I think this machine was a very high end model as it has chrome ways, had power feed,48" table, Bridgeports readouts. Powerfeed is missing lots of parts & I'm not sure condition or what's missing on the readouts. Someone robbed it of the one shot also.
First thing I'm gonna do is disassemble the mill, clean & paint it. Find out what all is missing & try to find new or good used parts I need. I may CNC this one.
