Hi everyone I'm looking for some feedback I acquired a nice Bridge Port ( 2J head) mill with a Proto Trak MX2 on it. I also have another BP (1 J head) with an Electronica EL700 DRO and power feeds on the X and Y that is my go to machine, however not in near the condition of the 2J machine. I just can't get the hang of the Proto Trak and am thinking of removing it from the 2J and outfitting the 2J with Servo power feeds and an EL700. Do you guys think there is enough value in the Proto Trax to cover the costs of the changeover? Is there anywhere to find out what it is worth as it is a working unit?

These are the folks that make those units. You may be able to judge the value of yours based on the cost of a new retrofit package.
