Hello All,
I have been asked by the family of a good friend who passed away what the current value of some of his machines are. I know lots about real old stuff but not as much about what I think of newer, pretty scary something made in 1962 is considered newer.
The machine in question is a Bridgeport, I think made in 1962, maybe 2 or at most 3 owners, never used in industry. It is a short table version, manual speed change, 3 ph with new 220 v rotatory converter. Machine is in pristine condition with no wear or bearing issues (I got my 1968 Clausing lathe years ago from the same original shop that is like new). It is in the mid-Atlantic region of the country since location has an effect on pricing. Currently not for sale.
So what is the current value for a minty Bridgeport these days?
Thanks.
