Hello,
My name is John. I need help coming up with a reasonable price for a Bridgeport mill. It belonged to my father who was a machinist for 30 years at Pratt and Whitney. He passed away this past May, and unfortunately I have to sell his house and cannot take the Bridgeport with me. So the time has come to sell it. I'm just looking for a reasonable price, not looking to rip anyone off, but I don't want to be ripped off either. I do also have to take into account that moving these things is not easy. It will come with some tooling and accessories however. I am not a machinist, and my father only just started to teach me before he unexpectedly passed away. Any help or insight you can share with me would be appreciated. Also, I have had issues trying to sell things online in the past, so if there is any sort of schemes that people try to pull when buying these sorts of machines to try to knock down the price, please share that with me as well.
If I looked through the serial number listings correctly, the mill is from 1978. Beyond that I don't know much about it.
Thank you for your help.
