Bridgeport vari-drive exploded view

good drawings here

Hello Tom, I want to thank you very much for the info. I was At work at the time with a vari drive all apart. So I called my dad and asked him to put the word out for me. This is from a machine that was under water for a while and I am trying to fix it. As it turns out the site you recommended was the one that I ordered all my parts from today., The parts list is good BUT it is not a true exploded view that shows how it goes back together(Yes yes I know but the manual that I was told we had turns out to be for the belt drive version, the one I need was in the flood). If I get no other response by tonight, I will just order one from Amazon and have it shipped overnight.Thanks again for your help. Paul D. Beizer

If you've got a fax I can send it to, email me the fax number before tomorrow morning I'll send it out. Do you need both the top drive housing and the lower part of the head? Parts lists?

Let's see if you have any leftover parts like I did!

And if you don't, we can probably get your dad to sprinkle a few extra bits into the parts bowl overnight while you sleep... ;-P

(Did I say that out loud?)

I hesitate to ask, but how bad was the flood?

And have you already set a fixed point at which you've decided it's more expensive to fix the mill than to trash it (call it 'spare parts') and get another?

It's like walking into the Casino with a pre-set limit, you'll only put out $50 as Fun Money tonight - you have to have the resolve going in that you will get up and walk out when that Fifty Bucks is gone, or before you know it you're down $2K and sinking fast.
