Hello Guys,
This is my first post here but i have been reading the forum for a while and appreciate the volume of knowledge here. I am looking to get my first mill, and have found the Bridgeport in the attached pictures, and i was hoping to see if anyone could help me figure out more information on it. After an exhaustive google search on the serial number i discovered that, that is not the right identification number to learn anything about it. My question is why does this bridgeport have two motors. One is in the vertical position above the spindle and the other is in the horizontal position to the right side of the mill, and it has a ~3" belt, that attaches to a flywheel, and what looks like it could go to another spindle.
