I got one of the those Quill Masters, a 90-degree head, and a horizontal
milling adaptor (another 90-degree head with an arbor and a support) all in
lieu of back rent from a tenant.
They were literally like "brand new", in the original boxes with the
styrofoam cut-outs and the manuals, but I don't think they were worth enough
to cover the rent.
I don't have a Bridgeport so I
loaned them all to one of my buddies... and will probably never see any of
them again.

To the right people..they are worth close to $2000

ROFLMAO!! Well done Sir..veddywelldone indeed!

And you are both wrong.

I remember some weird attachment you could set to any angle.

OOOOO!!!!! Ive never seen one of THOSE before! Neet!

I noticed that my right angle head....

"Above: No. 3 right-angle attachment for the Model J Head. This
heavy-duty 4 to 3 reduction unit was very well made with hardened and
lapped spiral-bevel gears and the hollow spindle, designed to accept
standard R-8 tooling, running in pre-loaded ball bearings. The
attachment is shown in combination with the Auxiliary Arbor Support, a
device that greatly improved its performance when used for horizontal
milling. The collet capacity range was 1/8" to 3/4"."

so evidently the Auxiliary Arbor Support was purchased seperately.
