I am looking to buy a Bridgeport Series 1
I would like power x feed and DRO on it... Belt change model would be fine.
I am based in Alton in Hampshire (UK)
Budget is a bit flexible, but £2500 inc transport.
If you know of a machine please let me know....

ALSO I AM Selling my old machine on ebay

It's an Adcock and Shipley 1AD, with a Bridgeport J-type head fitted by me... All working, just too small for Boiler I am building!

See it on ebay here http://r.ebay.com/GYgFTZ, with lots of pics and description, but I can answer any questions you might have...


thanks

Malcolm

Hope the new machine is in and working!

- My first house had a requirement for a large garage and hence covered work area, but I settled for a fairly basic steel clad garage.
- I think the second house may have to have the requirement of a large garage that is dry/secure enough to have such machinery in it.

In the end I could not find a Bridgeport for the money I had - but actually this turned out very well, I found a Rambaudi V3. Its an Italian turret mill of somewhat heavier design than the Bridgeport, and I am VERY happy with it... the only downside is that we have decided to move to Cumbria, so now I need a wagon with a 2Tonne Pallfinger to move it!!

Looks solid enough as you say!

- A mill is a way off, but a super7 in the conservatory would very nice indded....
