Now here's a reconditioned B'Port for $2,900.

True, but we are building robots, not parts for the space shuttle. A sightly worn out Bridgeport is still FAR better than any other mill you are going to find for $500 new. Still if you do want a machine that is in great condition there are still deals to be found.

By the way that is a great looking one, I saw that on practicalmachinist as well. Look at the scraping on those ways! Beautiful.
