I pushed it up a bit I wanted both. I would have mounted it the light weight M head on my Harrison universal. I already have a vertical too but extra set up is always nice. But it’s a real crap shoot and no idea which taper is in there, could be Mt2 or B&S 7

The condition was absolute crap too, my last bid was 140 and that was just to bump it up and cause a bit of worry with 3 way fight...
 
This is a fairly rare model of Bridgeport head, no? My searches found very few examples of a head that maxes out at 12,000 rpm.

Or are these common as dirt?

Also, the motor plate is tough to read but I think it is a 208/230/440 volt version. That would make it desirable for folks wanting to swap out a 550V motor.

Hi Craig, It’s a light weight M head, fairly rare higher speed head but they are around. The bearings cost a small fortune to replace, but without a close inspection who knows the overall condition regardless of appearance.
