“Bridgeport Manual Mill with Digital Readout.

Ball screws and ways are in good working condition with an approximate. 150-.200 back lash on ball screws.

Head motor works well with forward and reverse.

Digital X Y readout works as it should.

Comes with collects and random tooling.

High-low gears pop out of sync and price reflects this.

Pick up Erin Ontario 8am-3pm Monday -Friday.

Cash Only.”

Holy crap that's a good deal.

Holy crap indeed. And did I ever overspend on my Bport thirty years ago…

That's potentially a great deal. (if the rest of the machine is nice and tight)

And a Heidenhain readout! (unknown scales, but still)

I see it's already pending, not surprising.

For the folks out West, this is pretty expensive for a mill. They're usually $50-$100

Alright, no.
In Ontario, $3000 will pretty much guarantee you a mill, any day of the week.
$2000 is reasonably common.
Under that gets pretty rare pretty fast.
Under $1000 is a few times a year, with a motivated seller, see: the First mill I picked up for work for $400. Right place, right time.

That's a smokin' deal, even in USD!

Yes. That's at a point where the question is not (generally) 'Can I afford it?', but 'Do I want a full-sized mill or not?'.
