Is this the machine off ebay??
I was looking at it but passed because of the distance and the parts missing in the head.
To answer your questions, there are parts available from Cincinnati, but often times they are VERY expensive on old machines. I have 60" vintage horizontal and replacement gears exceeded $10k on an identical machine!!
Best bet is to get a parts manual and see what all is missing or broke. Then find a donor machine or a way to make or repair the broken parts. Other than that, you are gonna have to use what features are left or are not broken.
BTW, if you got the mill I am thinking of, it did "look" good.

Gary E on here worked for Cincinnati for a while and knows a lot about these different machines. If you contact him, he may be able to offer you some imput (I bet he is getting tired of me throwing his name out each time the word Cincinnati comes up!!)
Anyway, give him a shout or maybe he will chime in with info on a serial number related year.

That's ok Grant...
That's a 1953 machine...

When you say the head does not move.. does that mean the Spindle Carrier?.. there whould be a handwheel to feed it and power feed up and down.. maybe somethings jamed..
