Bridgeport Series 1 Vertical Mill running on Linux EMC2 CNC. This mill had been retrofitted with a Bandit CNC and because it was no longer supported, I converted it to run on a PC using Linux EMC2 CNC as an operating system. All documentation is included. Also has Acu-rite X/Y axis glass scales. 42" X 9 3/4" table.
Bejur Spray Mister
Ball Screw slides on all axis.
2 Hp, 3 phase motor
I bought this mill in 2005 (or there about) and as a hobby machinist the mill has not been used very much, usually making myself tooling.
Weighs approximately 2000 lbs.
For photos they are available on Google MyDrive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dTATMW9DM6REIOg-c9RihZbmx4Uw8YnG?usp=share_link
Engraving jig with motor is included.
EDM for small hole setup that I fabricated is included (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5WZqYl_aZ8 .
Set of Erickson Quick Change interfacing collets.
Many end mills and saws
Boring bar head
Located New Windsor, MD.
Is anyone interested?

I am interested. Can you send pictures please? Do you have a way to get it on a skid and in a crate, and load it on a truck? I can arrange the freight. What is the asking price?
Thanks, Denis

Bridgeport Series 1 with 2 Hp 3 phase motor. 9 X 42 table with ball screw slides.
I’ve mostly only used it as a hobbiest, mostly making tooling, etc. I paid $5000 for it about 2005 and it had been retrofitted in its history with a Bandit CNC. The Bridgeport was manufactured in the late seventies. That system was designed for tape input but I didn’t have that capability, therefore no way of storing a G code program that I would manually enter in. Then realizing that the old Bandit system was no longer supported, for example if a card in the card rack failed, it would be useless. On Google I discovered the Linux EMC software available to interface it with a PC through its parallel ports, I successfully converted it to that setup. I kept the original power supply and motor driver boards. I have all the documentation for the conversion that I did.
Acurite glass scales on X and Y axis.
Engraving jig with motor is included.
Kurt 5" vise
7" rotary vise
Cold Air cooling gun

EDM power supply and control box. See demo photo of hole through carbide in photos link.
For photos they are available on Google MyDrive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dTATMW9DM6REIOg-c9RihZbmx4Uw8YnG?usp=share_link
$5,000 OBO.
I am selling because I am now approaching my time here on earth although I am not ready to go at 89.
I hope you are close enough that it would be reasonable to see it.

You can have equipment like this shipped without crating. I have done it a number of times. On the recipient end contact some of your local rigging companies and tell them you are looking to have a piece of equipment shipped to you. The ones who can arrange for this will want to know what the item is, where it is coming from, where it is going to, and details such as type of facility (appears to be residential on both ends), if there is a loading dock at either end, if there is equipment to load and unload the machinery on both ends, etc. I am guessing you could use a rigging company on the senders end, but I have always used a rigger local to me as it was easier to work with and know they are reputable.

Last time I bought a large piece (an Eagle 400 mill), the
seller arranged for the truck to deliver it, and I arranged to rent a
large forklift to remove it from the truck. I was surprised that the
delivery of the forklift did not include OPERATING the forklift, but the
driver WOULD explain best practices (like, DO NOT LIFT FROM THE BOTTOM,
but instead use the mill top lift point). He explained the controls,
because I had never driven a fork lift before, and this unit had to be
carefully moved deep into my shop barn. End result? No problem, no
damage, nothing knocked over, didn't fall into the 6' maintenance pit,
etc. All went fine. Total moving cost, across town, less than $700, not
counting my nervous sweat.
You can do it. Just ask a lot of questions, and go slow.

WHen I picked up my new to me mill & lathe a few
years back I rented a tandem axle uhaul with the high sides . I
rented a fork lift for 4 hours & had it delivered @ a hour
after I arrived
at the pickup location . I lifted the mill from the top
& put it on a pallet that was in the trailer . Then I strapped
the mill down to the pallet & secured them both to the trailer
. Then I removed
the top of the mill which was the motor , the whole head
assembly & the casting between the two . I had almost a 500
mile drive & wanted to lower the CG of the unit . I strapped
the top assembly to a pallet & strapped it in the trailer ,
& loaded the lathe . Made the 500 mile fine , though it was a
much slower drive than I usually drive . The next morning I
unloaded everything with my backhoe where it all has been sitting
for 2 years while I finished our new house . I hope to have the
machine room all framed up & ready to move into hopefully in
the next month .
Not really much to moving one of these machines , just a
TON of Common sense .
good luck

I'm in the process of moving my shop about 100 miles. It's quite
possible to do this by yourself with some thought and the right
equipment. Forklifts make life very easy, but are not essential
(although if you can get one, do it).
I'm using skates, a toe jack, a johnson bar and a drop deck trailer and
just moved a mill yesterday. I use a chainfall to pull the machine
up onto the trailer deck and then chain it down with binders and add
a couple ratchet straps for good measure. If you're carrying a load
you want it to be part of the trailer. I once saw a trailer carrying
a backhoe flipped over and the backhoe was still attached even though
it was upside down. I try to ensure anything I'm towing is fastened
similarly.
You need a proper vehicle though. I've carried 3000 pounds lathes
in the bed of my dually pickup without issues. Towing 5 or 6
thousand pounds gross weight is not an issue either.
Or, just look for a local rigger and use the universal tool: money.
Sit back and watch them take care of it. I had a machine moved
cross country and the local rigger took care of it from the trucking
terminal to my shop. I just pointed to where it should sit.
Didn't even break a sweat :-)
Do make sure the rigger is insured and reputable. I once had
a guy drop a 3000 pound lathe 3 feet onto asphalt when his strap
slipped (no damage, although the asphalt gave a little). At
least it didn't slip when it was 6 feet in the air.

We ended up renting a Ryder truck with a 2500 Lb lift gate, and took the head and ram off the mill to lighten it and lower the center of gravity. Sliding the mill off the lift gate and onto my basement floor was a big challenge as we could not get the truck lined up for a straight shot into the door. It required comealongs and lots of plywood.

I use either pipe rollers or skates for moving around onsite. If
using skates, use only three for something like a Bridgeport, not
4. The slightest imperfection in the flatness of a concrete
surface will cause one skate to drop out if placed in all four
corners. Then your machine will tip over.
Have crated several machines for transport long distance, lifted
locally by crane equipped trucks. For one expensive VMC purchased
in Australia, I travelled there to pack it myself by wrapping it
up with many sheets of 2inch thick polystyrene sheet, which I
later used for workshop insulation. The machine was then rolled
neatly into a shipping container, which container was then
eventually set down on my driveway, after a sea voyage that I
could follow online.

I saw a trick once that I thought was a good idea for
casters . The guy put hunks of PVC pipe around his casters , they
rested on the ground were not attached & were free to move .
So when
he moved his machines the PVC would move anything out of
the way that a caster wheel may have tripped on before it could
reach the wheel.

When a 15hp Cazeneuve hydraulic pattern lathe -- functional
but being retired -- arrived on a low trailer, I moved it off the trailer
and into my shop using a 10' 12" i-beam, many short 2by4s to stack
on each side, and an ordinary floor jack to lift the lathe, slide the
trailer out from under it, and lower it onto some 2-ton dollies built for
the event. Same setup was used again to get the lathe onto the floor. And
yeah, if that forklift wasn't so expensive to rent....
