Finally Got My New/Old Bridgeport Last Week

[Monk]

Got some pieces of 3/8 plate and rubber absorber pads placed and took delivery. It's a 1971 J1.



My Dad (an electrician for 40+ years) helped me hook up the 3-phase and get it running. I was sorry to see the Grizzley 1007 go, but it found a good home (Dad's) .

Looks real good for her age.

Looks real good for her age.

I bought it from a place here in Columbus, and they had painted it, but it looks to be in pretty good shape and runs quietly.

Looks like you are well set with a nice lathe and mill! Life could be worse.)

Good score, congrats!

Thanks to everyone! I'm in the process of hooking up an ENCO x axis table feed, and a Shars 3 axis DRO. I'll post as I get everything hooked up.
