Bridgeport bits wanted
Hi Chaps,
I bought a basket case Bridgeport J Head milling machine in bits complete with rust - as one does - and some bits are missing or in poor condition.
The previous owner had started a restoration but got bogged down with work (self employed is hard sometimes) and got fed up with it after dismantling
it and it lay outside for a while.
Anyone have bits for aforesaid?
In particular........
The lower gear housing part no J-2 that's the bit with the back gear in it. Apparently one of the last owners dropped the machine off the
trailer when getting it home -Ouch they weigh 1.25 tonnes!!! Guess what part it landed on 
The Spindle part no J166 (the one I have has rusty splines -nasty thing rusty splines - but I have new precision bearings)
The motor pulley part no J-6. Yup someone tried to pull it off and only succeeded in pulling off part of the flange and left the rest behind! Now
removed properly.
Shift crank part no J-14 Again damaged in "the fall"
and the fine feed hand wheel part no J120 - to be fair these are missing on most Bridgeport's; someone somewhere has a pile of them.
Various other bits I have yet to discover missing when I reassemble after derusting/cleaning/painting/bearings/wiring/belts/servos/ and other stuff I
now nothing about
Cheers!
