Hi,so quick intro since I'm new here and somewhat new to machining,currently in college finishing up my first year in machine tool so still learning
tons but am familiar with basic manual machining but we don't learn CNC until the second year so I'm not familiar with all the CNC terms.
So I just bought a set of milling machines, a manual millport 9x42 bridgeport clone with feed and DRO which what was I wanted and the other is an old bridgeport textron cnc, I'm still in the process of moving it in so I haven't gotten a chance to completely look it over for a model but quick inspection didn't find anything and it looks like the name plate has been removed.
It has been sitting for about 10yrs with very little use as the previous owner bought it for mold work but after he bought it his machinist left and it never got much use. so besides how to jog it manually he wasn't able to show me how to run it.
So any help identifying it would be greatly appreciated and if you need a picture of a certain part let me know and I'll get some more but here's what I've got right now:

Where should I look for the serial number?
Can you identify the model and were I can get a manual for it?
And I'd also be interested in knowing what would be needed to convert it to a modernish CNC
My brother is a machinist graduate, computer technician, and has a bench top cnc that runs on mach 3 but I'm sure I could get training in what ever would work best.
And any other info you can give me about these machines, quirks things they did well.
Tried search the web and from what I can find it might be a Bridgeport series 2 but I've found some conflicting info so not really sure what I've got
Thanks any help or advice you can give me,
Joe
