Hey guys,
Ill get right to it - I have the opportunity to buy a Bridgeport series II interact 2 for dirt cheap. not sure of exact year. could be early 80s. made in United Kingdom.
Its got some issue with the serial port - not sure, but would likely retrofit or convert to manual if thats possible?
This machine is way to big for my space but I could make it work. its a 460v machine and I only have 240v single phase.
is this a retarded idea? I could make a project out of it? different motor, retrofit etc etc etc....
it appears to be in pretty good shape, table is nice. said it was from a school.
Ill never get the opportunity again, but maybe its a bad idea....it is REALLY cheap, and close to my house. would be an easy move.
most guys want 5 grand for there beat up old manual mills around here. you can tell how well built this machine is....but if it doesn't make sense then i guess I'm just getting all worked up for nothing....
help.....thanks guys
