Bridgeport power feed question.

[MyLilMule]

I totally love the “Original” Bridgeport power feeds. Nothing lasts forever. And the BPPF is one example. If you can understand “ALL” of its quirks and fix them (correctly!). You will end up with the best PF you could own, IMHO.

I'll be glad to sell you my working 6F for $1,500.

Not sure it's identical to mine, but the one on my 1974 series 1 has never given me any problems and is smoother than any of the aftermarket ones I've used. Mike

I'll be glad to sell you my working 6F for $1,500.

Thanks for the offer. But, no thank you.

Those things are built like tanks, much better than the aftermarket cheapos
The control boxes use standard off the shelf parts and are repairable
I believe there is actually a schematic inside IIRC

The circuit board for my 6F was located in the main control panel on the right side of the mill. No schematic available to help troubleshoot.

I do remember seeing a diagram inside one- must have been a different model

There are at least three versions of the 6F feed. The oldest had a remote control box.

These guys are not the cheapest, but they seem to know what they are doing. Here is a link to an upgrade kit to replace the remote control box. I have no connection to the seller.
