Last winter I bought a used/refurbished Bridgeport which was built around 1980.
It came with a power feed, which looks to be original.
Not sure how you determine the model. I looked and it did not say "Model Number" on the tag.
It did say......
R.A. Boehm Co.
Ser. No. BM-50608
Spec. No. 4640
Amps 4.6
Volts 90 DC-A 100 DC-F
I finally used the machine and something has happened to the feed.
The motor runs in both directions and will go faster when you press the "Rapid Traverse" button. The crank turns but the table does not move.
The table will not move from that end by using the crank handle, but it will move from the other end using the crank.
I am hoping something has just dropped out like a key-way key or something. Maybe there is a clutch that can be adjusted?
Anyone got an idea as to what model this is and what the problem could be?
Thanks
