CNC questions

Hi Jon,

Fitch thought you might know something about this.

I've tripped onto a deal for a Bridgeport BTC-1 machine with
toolchanger with a Boss 7.1 control. Do you know anything
about that machine or control?

There may be a glitch in the controller. The story I'm getting
is it worked fine in service, the current fellow got it and
fiddled with the tool changer and it hasn't really worked since.

I was looking for an EMC candidate (actually, that's not quite true, I
was _going_ to look for an EMC candidate - when I had the room for it.
Figuring out what to do with this thing now is a problem). I will
probably go take a look at it in a couple of weeks (it's about 400
miles away). The fellow wants $1500 for it, including some tooling,
which seems like a good deal if it's in decent condition.

Thanks for any info

Paul
