Hey folks I picked up an old bridgeport the other day for a good price because the knee is stuck. I took the table off and did a little looking around, it turns out the the knee nut had twisted off the pedestal causing the knee crank to free spin. The previous owner try so hard to crank the knee after it had stuck they broke off the very top portion of the pedestal, that's not my major concern at this point. My big problem is breaking free the knee. The knee gib adjusting screw is missing and it looks like the top portion of the gibe is missing so I can't adjust the gib.
I've tried to jack up the knee to loosing it and I've tried downward pressure as well. I've got liquid wrench on all the parts and ways hoping it will soak in and loosing up the components. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful for the help.
Thanks
