The Cintimatic Saga

As it now stands, I believe that I'm going to have to let the Cintimatic
slip through my fingers. I am still looking at salvaging some parts,
prior to letting it go to the scrapyard. The ballscrews appear to be
1.25" dia, and might be retrofittable to my 1960 B'port. They nut moved
the table on this machine, however, with the screw fixed, so I'm not
sure of the compatibility. Does anyone know if it would be possible to
adapt these to a Bridgeport style fixed nut type machine?
If someone here has a strong interest in the whole machine, its in
Metro-Detroit, speak up now, as Rick, the owner has found a scrapper who
will take it out of his shop for free (for the scrap value). Someday
I'll kick myself for not jumping on this one...
