You can see my retrofitted 1938 Round-Ram Bridgeport at
http://pico-systems.com/CNCconv.html
(ignore the hideous Allen-Bradley CNC control, that is a historical
side note) in the second picture. I need to make a better picture of
it. There are several pictures of parts of the retrofit.
I did this in 1998, used it for a while with the Allen Bradley CNC
control, and then switched to EMC on a PC - MUCH BETTER!
