a guy local to me has one that has been "modernized" or re-worked using Mach 3. I know little about this machine but it would give me CNC cability with not a lot of money. I'm buying a manual bridgeport this weekend and I rather not buy a 6+k retro kit for it because it still has it's limitation. There's a Taiwanese milling machine that is superior in being converted to CNC that I could pick up.

"Bridgeport R2E3 CNC mill, Mach 3 controls, Gecko Stepper Drives, Bob Campbell Breakout board Rare earth magnet stepper motors. 208-230 Volt 3 phase could be modified for single phase operation."
