    bridgeport for 75 dollars!!

    My company I work for is liquating their machines and I can get a hold of an older (I think around 70's) bridgeport with a j head ( I think the serieal number on the head reads j8641 (does that mean anything?)

    I had a few questions.. There is no oil pump and an old circut breaker where I can't find the cord to... I see the cord to the motor but nothing to plug into an outlet..

    What to do... How hard is it to fix the breaker problem?

    If it is even close to operational, you could probably double or triple your money parting it out.

    Better yet, at $75, buy several and make one out of many!!!!

    This, if true, is one of those, "DUH, what are you thinking - it's too good to be true" sort of opportunities.

    How many do you have and are they still available?

    For $75 I will buy every one you have. Seriously. I can be down there to pick them up this Friday!

    Seriously - how many do you have? How many will be available? How many can I buy?

    At $150, it still is a steal.
    If it's not nailed down, it's mine.
    If I can pry it loose, it's not nailed down.

    The breaker problem is extremely difficult to fix. Very few people can fix it. Luckily, I am one of them. I will take that Bridgeport and even add another buck! $76. How does that sound?

    well 75 was a hot price, but good luck at 150....did someone die in it?

    why don't take all four and then your'e in business, see if you can get a volume discount
