Bridgeport serial # question

Post by VelocityDuck »

I'm looking at a Bridgeport mill. The serial number is BH-30594. All the charts I've seen show the BH numbers are 1-26962. The BR series start at 26963.

It is a round ram so it tracks with the V-ram starting at 31618. I'm thinking it's a 1956 model.

Any ideas why this serial number is outside the BH range?
