My V2XT finially lands in my garage!

[9 1/2]

Hey all!
Last night was the big day of delivery for my V2XT. Took about an hour'n a half to get it to the final resting point but the process was smooth and well planned. At one point it looked as though my height measurments were off as the garage door appreared to be too low. In the end we had lots of room (amost 3/8 of an inch) to slip it under.
Here's a link of the mill on the fork lift. I'd tried to upload to a photo gallery but had no luck. I'll keep trying though.

Lots to figure out now. I was very happy to see that the rotary axis was a bridgeport supplied unit that came with original machine order. Also, there appears to be two coolant systems, the original flood coolant and a "Kool Mist" unit that's been added on.

The electronics cabinette is very clean and in good shape and in side I found the original Bridgeport OS disk, drivers for the video card and a two wireing schematic.

I'll probably not power this unit up for some time as I want to go over it as per the recomendations I've read on other threads on the forum.

Anywho, I'll be appreciative of any advice and suggestions you all may offer.

Thanks Kevin,

Over all this unit seems to be in excellent condition. Obviously I've not powered it up yet, still need to buy my VFD and go over the entire machine.

One question though, first of many I'm sure, what is the air line connection on the back of the 4th axis for?

What would a break be used for on the rotary? Like a homing break or locating pin?
George could you please you elaborate a little?

I've got a V2XT with the DX32 control running product on the weekends and I could copy the manual and the software. Let me get it together next weekend and see if it will all fit on one 1.44 floppy.
