Help!

Ok, I put money down on a Bridgeport Mill, SN: 131234 (on the front end
of the area between the ways above the crank that moves the bed
front/back... missing the MOTOR!! But relatively inexpensive, and
local... so far good.

Has a really old Anilam DRO, condition unknown just yet. (anyone know
where I can get schematics, if I need them?)

But the HEAD has a vari-speed dial on it, the readout is in front on a
dial... the sides are enclosed.

Oh oh! Part of the varispeed drive is ON the motor! There is a pulley
with a sliding flange coaxial to the spindle. That flange is moved by
the vari-speed crank. The motor has a spring-loaded flange that keeps
the belt tight. If somebody just pulled the whole motor out, then that
rear pulley went with it. You can certainly get a motor and pulley set
from somebody who has torn one down, but it won't go cheap!
What head do I have here?? ---
it is almost certainly a 2-J head, if the machine is a Series-I base.
If a Series-II base, then the head could be a 3-J or 4-J, or possibly
even a 2-J, which were often used on multiple-spindle machines with the
T-Ram.
