So, I am gonna go ahead and be "that guy" who is asking what the freak I now have. Ive been wanting a Bridgeport in the garage (mostly for woodworking) but also to make stuff as a hobby. We had picked this up from a customer and it is now gonna be mine. I am gonna be doing at least a full tear down (cleaning and painting) but am not sure if I will be "rebuilding" it (just to make sure @JR doesnt get on me for doing a rebuild when its just clean and paint) or not.
Anyways... It has an M head, SN-11,271 but I don't believe this is a Bridgeport base. From everything I know about BP and have been reading about, this does not at all look like it was a normal BP base. I can't see any identifying marks and simple google searches for old mill and drill bases doesn't bring back any results that look anything like this. The head can raise and lower, and it looks as if the knee can as well. It also looks as if the table/saddle can actually rotate on an axis as well.
So... just wanted to see if anyone has seen something like this. If it ends up being a BP base, I will post the pics as I tear down and put it back together.

PS- @JR, I went through like 4 titles to make sure I dont get put on blast for a bad title.
