Bridgeport CNC for controller upgrade

I have a chance to get an older Bridgeport that has had a new
control installed. My problem is that I need to sell the one I have
first. I thought that I would post it for sale on this list first, I
know that some of the people on this list are going to a lot of work
to convert manual mills to CNC. This one should be able to save
someone some time and effort. You could upgrade it to PC control or
use it just how it sits. It is an 1982 CNC Series 1, 2HP, BOSS 5.0,
stepper motors, with all the original electronics intact. It is an
old paper punch tape machine. We have been using the COM port to
upload programs from a PC. It is in pretty good shape. We have it
set up for single phase 220v using a variable frequency drive (VFD)
right now but could easily be switched back to 3 phase. I want to
keep the VFD for the other one. It is located in Belvidere, IL 61008
and can be seen under power upon request. I may be able to deliver
it within a reasonable distance, you would have to have a way to get
it off a car trailer though. I would like $2000 for it, if I don't
have any luck here, I am going to list it on Ebay. If interested, e-
mail me directly at BadGS750@....
Thanks,
Todd
