I finally brought a Series I CNC Bridgeport to my warehouse. It does power up.
http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/Bridgeport-Series-1/ It does not complain of anything, however, I was pressing various buttons and I could not get it to do anything, such as move in X, Y, and Z. I did take it out of E-Stop. I am wondering if anyone has a manual for it, or a simple instruction like "press this and then press that button" to just get it to move and move the spindle. Secondly, is my recollection correct that EMC2 is easily capable of running such a machine? Would one need to replace stepper drives or can they be used with, say, Jon Elson's system? I would love it if someone said "I used boards A,B,C and it was easy". Kind of like for my own Series II Interact 2, I used Jon's controller board and AMC servo drives and it was "easy".
