Considering an older Bridgeport vmc

[pyropanda5]

I'm considering purchasing a 1987 Bridgeport interact 412 with a heidenhain 151c control to replace my syil x4 mill. It's very clean and comes with a laptop setup to drip feed. They're asking $5,000 and I would like to know if this is a reasonable price and if there's anything I should know about this model.

Thanks,
Conner

Thanks, I had read that thread and I have a question about how these machines are after they've been used. The main problem that scadvice brought up was that the turcite was installed improperly but I would like to know how these machines are after 30 years.
