HELP! Value of a Bridgeport

I ran across the most pristine J-head I've ever seen. Its owner passed a couple a months ago and the family is selling the items he had. The Bridgeport apparently has all the original frosting on the bed and elsewhere. The table is (I believe, didn't measure) 9 X 48. Has a Central Machinery power feed on the X. It has a two axis DRO with a switchable second axis (y/z) that looks new. The motor is a 3/4hp, single phase. Paint is worn. A 6" L-W vise on rotary base with 1/4" plastic bed covers. Any ideas of a "fair" value for it? It is in the Oklahoma City metro area. Thanks for the help. Respectfully, Ron Moore

In my neck of the woods that might bring $4k. $2500 would be a good place to start offering.

Mr Vordos of r.c.m sez, "They're not a great machine, not even a good machine". So don't waste your time.

Well, you could help them list it on ebay. Some nice pictures of ways and bed to show the 'pristineness' might improve the selling price quite a bit.

I would have to agree with Grant Erwin "In my neck of the woods that might bring $4k. $2500 would be a good place to start offering." having been to many auctions looking for a similar Bridgeport. All the good ones went for $4,000 up to $5,500 for the really good ones.

As for Richard Kinch's posting "Mr. Vordos of r.c.m sez, "They're not a great machine, not even a good machine". So don't waste your time." I don't think what is the quality was ever the question, the real question was how much will it bring at sale.
