Mitutoyo makes DRO packages based on the same technology as their digital calipers but use 120VAC. They have resolution to .0005" and are probably as good as you really can use on a BP. I have one on my PAL and it's been working fine for quite a few years. It does X & Y - Z is handled by a battery-powered Mitu quill kit. MSC used to run specials on the mill package, I think for less than $500, but I can't remember for sure and haven't seen one lately.

I have a used Acu-rite 200M with less than 100 total hours since new.
I'm asking $550 plus shipping.
Here's a link to pictures.

I have had an Acu-Rite 200 on my mill for 10 years, works great.
Either look at good used or wait until you have more money to get a proper new Acu-rite, Fagor, Newall, Sony, Mitutoyo or Heidenhain DRO.
