Re: New Bridgeport Owner
As Mr. Wroclawski notes, this is a Series 1 machine, with 2Hp head. The head is clearly a "more recent" unit, with the slow/fast cover casting on the front. I have a Series 1 2J machine as well, but

Re: New Bridgeport Owner
Thanks for the input George. The sales person I spoke with said it is 2 hp. I haven't heard it run yet because I haven't recieved it yet but I will let you know when I do.

Re: New Bridgeport Owner
Series 1 with a 2J head and a Servo power feed. The number on the top front of the knee will give you the year it was made. Two questions. The horsepower of the head? How does the head sound? George

Hello, I have a Bridgeport Series 1 mill which I purchased new in 1974 (#172.064). I later swapped the head for a 2J (#39231). It has been inactive and in climate controlled storage for the past 20

Re: Lagun Mill
Does it rattle when in low range (back gear engaged)? I bought a used J head for my old round ram, and the face splined parts that engage when in high range made a clattering noise. I replaced those
