Recently acquired bridgeport

I recently acquired this 1958 Bridgeport. Going to tear it down and clean and repaint. It appears to be in very good condition. Just needs some cleaning and tlc. I will post more pics as it progresses.

It also came with a 15 inch Troyke rotary table and a nice vise too. I will try to put some pictures of those on too tomorrow

Great looking machine. Looks like it has been taken care of. If you don't mind saying, how much did you have to pay for it?
