Bridgport Mill Victoria GCSurplus

[YotaBota]

First bid is $5,000!

Ah, but, I bet the last one is significantly higher...
Looks like it is in pretty good shape judging by the one picture.

 

[Dabbler]

In the Victoria market, I'd guess it will go for 7200$ or thereabouts.

Hmmmm.... that link invoked my virus protection?

This mill is VFD ready, with a 3 phase motor.

Well, I could make some smart ass remark about government and virus, but then it would get political and I would get banned…

Try this:

www.gcsurplus.ca

after selecting one of the official languages, shop gcsurplus, what’s for sale. Look under machine tools.

With the accessories it might make it higher than 7200$

 

[RobinHood]

It has x & y power feed, 12” original BP rotary table, original BP horizontal milling attachment and the foot stock of a (missing) dividing head.

Looks to be wired 208v/220v too, from the scratched out and re-scratched in, markings on the motor plate.

Research Council, IIRC. Should have led a pretty decent life. Certainly a step up, size-wise, from the regular BP Mills!

Ohh don't do that, we will need RobinHood in the hood when all the curtains begin to close...

Nice mill, my thinking - 10,500$

 

[YotaBota]

Oops,,,,, Thanks @RobinHood for picking up my slack.
I'm thinking in the $10k area as well.

To be perfectly Honest, I'm not sure that criticism of 'the government' COUNTS as being political! The best of them, still deserve all the criticism they can get!

After all, a wise man once said (so I am led to believe!) that the ideal situation, is to hang the last politician, with the guts of the last Priest!

No names, no pack drill!

Sold $7,000, less than expected.

I think we have a winner....
