Good evening everyone!
The Bridgeport Series 1 I just got has X & Y scales on the machine. The DRO head was removed by the previous user to be put on another machine. I have no idea what make/model the DRO was. In looking, it appears like 99% of the units I'm finding have a DB-9 connection on the back for the scales. My scales are 6-Pin round connectors, see photo attached.
The only DRO I'm finding with this kind of connector is the old Acu-Rite III but I gotta believe there are others out there, I just don't know what brand/models to be looking for? Vintage is totally acceptable and I don't need anything fancy (but it'd be nice, lol). I need it mainly for positioning since the dial indicators are almost totally worn off the table cranks. I'm hoping to find something on eBay in the "very inexpensive" price range. What should I be looking for?
See pic of scale connectors attached.
Thanks all!
