Hi All
While trawling through Ebay I spotted what looks like a fairly well priced ( I think) DRO system here:

Has anyone tried this stuff out or any opinions on it? Might be an answer for me to hang on to my current mill (metric) I had been looking for a Bridgeport to pop up for sale in Scotland, but so far the only one I have seen was too expensive.
I have posted before and the general feeling was to go for a real BP and not go the Warco VMC or Super Major route.
The advantages there are
A: It's new and Warco seem to have fairly good reputation for after sales sevice (on here) and the price is delivered.
B: I don't have the hassle of trying to get a BP up from England, or have to travel down to view a second hand machine.
Any thoughs on the DRO? and would there be any reason why one of those could not be used on a lathe (obviously some functions would be wasted)
