Hesstool,
Regarding your Hardinge/Bridgeport XV I would recommend pursuing Hardinge. I'm a former applications Engineer from the milling and I recall when you purchased the machine and if my memory serves me correctly you got one of the first in the US.
I don't believe a machine with 610 hours should have the spindle die on it. If you had 6100 hours then it would be a different discussion.
Contact me if you need anything, good luck.
They discontinued this machine for one reason or another.
