As I recall the spindles are interchangeable. Maybe not always the

into the heads. I don't know how true this is. But if your machine is
an exact copy of a Bridgeport then measure the O.D. of the quill and
see if it's the same as the Bridgeport quill. If they are the same
then using this link:

you should be able to swap quills pretty easily. If the quills do
differ substantially then swapping spindles will probably work.

Excellent. Many Thanks Eric, I'll give that a try.
