The fact that there are at least a bazillion dead Bridgeport Boss CNC's out
there is probably merit enough. Bridgeport sold one to practically every
tech school in the country. We paid $42,000 for ours and all 26 schools in
Georgia got at least one.

Many of the BP's out there are still in excellent condition and only need a
computer and amps to make them run. The motors are fine.

I could probably use a dozen or so.
