Last minute auction find and score. Bridgeport Mill Parts

[TorontoBuilder]

I recently found out my friend Brian in the Guelph area has a crack in the belt housing of his Bridgeport Mill. Not totally tragic, but sad none the less.

So I started searching for a replacement and low and behold, my fastest find to date. When I found the lot the bid was at $50USD. The bidding went up above $100USD so I offered to contribute to the cost in order to get one set of belt housing parts. I may mirror polish them or shot blast them to matte finish and then anodize them to have on hand for when we rebuilt our Mill's head.

So we have three 2J head belt housings (one spare to sell), 3 bull gears, 2 gear housings, and a couple parts I dont know.

Wondering, how did you do that? Is that option on specific auction or it was other way to contact and share?

I told him I'm good for a hundred bucks. He trusts me, I trust him.
